How to Get a PhD or EdD in Literacy and Reading

Literacy and reading are essential skills for participating in modern society. People rely on literacy to communicate, acquire knowledge, and develop their potential–to say nothing of reading a map, following instructions, basic financial transactions, and many other daily tasks that we take for granted. Yet according to the National Institute for Literacy, more than 20 percent of adults read at or below a 5th-grade level. The National Adult Literacy Survey estimates that “over 40 million American adults have significant literacy needs.”

A doctoral degree in Education with a specialization in literacy and reading qualifies you to tackle the illiteracy problem head-on. Literacy doctoral graduates work to improve literacy education and public policy through positions as researchers, educators, and administrative leaders.

Completing the highest academic qualification in literacy and reading education takes planning and a clear sense of your career objectives. This guide helps you focus your goals and prepare for a PhD or EdD in Literacy and Reading education.

A Guide to the PhD in Literacy and Reading

Literacy education emerged as a distinct academic discipline in the 1960s, when the federal government began funding research on reading and reading instruction. Since then, academic scholars have advanced new theories of language acquisition and developed new pedagogical approaches to put these theories into practice.

This guide to graduate literacy and reading programs can help you focus your career goals and plan a path to achieving them. Check out WorldWideLearn.com’s Guide to Majors to find more information about literacy as an academic discipline.

PhD or EdD in Literacy and Reading?

You can find two degree options at the doctoral level: the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) and the Doctor of Education (EdD). The two doctorates are equal in rigor and prestige but different in purpose:

  • The PhD in Literacy and Reading is a traditional social science doctorate. The degree emphasizes original research in literacy theory and pedagogy, and leads to careers in academic research and teaching.
  • The EdD in Literacy and Reading is a professional practice doctorate. The dissertation focuses on the application of existing scholarship to the practice of literacy education. Graduates often go on to positions as literacy educators, administrators, and policy makers.

The right program for you typically depends on your career ambitions. For more information about doctoral degrees, visit WorldWideLearn.com’s Online PhD Degrees and Doctoral Programs resource page.

  • Specializations

A doctoral degree offers the opportunity to pursue specialized research in literacy and reading. You may choose to focus your scholarship on a particular issue, area, or constituency of literacy education.

Common specializations in literacy and reading include:

  • Child literacy and language acquisition
  • Multilingual literacy and second language acquisition
  • Adult literacy
  • Reading education
  • Literacy assessment
  • Socio-cultural issues of literacy
  • Classroom practice and intervention strategies
  • Professional development for literacy educators
  • Literacy theory Technology in literacy education

Both the PhD and EdD offer a great deal of latitude in determining your area of specialization. Let your intellectual curiosity guide you as you explore possible areas of scholarly inquiry.

Career Track

A PhD or EdD in Literacy and Reading opens doors to a range of leadership positions in teacher education, education administration, education research, and policymaking.

Academic careers emphasize teaching and research. Advance literacy scholarship and train the next generation of literacy educators as a university professor, college dean, researcher, or research librarian.

Professional careers in literacy & reading focus on developing literacy education through the application of theoretical scholarship. Careers include:

  • Reading specialist
  • Literacy testing coordinator
  • Literacy curriculum designer
  • Literacy researcher for government or nonprofit
  • Literacy policymaker

The flexibility of the asynchronous format is ideal for returning students balancing education with work and family responsibilities. The independent, self-directed nature of online learning also appeals to many adult learners at the doctoral level. But perhaps most important, the format encourages a productive cross-fertilization of academic learning and applied practice. If you’re already working in education and pursuing a professional practice doctorate, an online doctorate could be the perfect choice.

Campus instruction is the traditional format of the PhD program in literacy andreading. Campus doctorates offer the advantage of access to campus resources, from faculty mentors to research facilities. The campus PhD remains the preferred route for aspiring academics, whose careers depend on strong relationships with faculty mentors and access to teaching and research assistantships.

More and more schools are also developing hybrid programs, which combine online instruction and temporary periods of campus residency.

Why Get an Online Doctorate in Literacy?

  • A Ph.D. can qualify you for careers where you can impact students and educators. Examples of these jobs include literacy researcher and postsecondary teacher.
  • These degrees give learners the tools to run systematic, scientific inquiries into how literacy development operates in learners of all ages and backgrounds. Practitioner-oriented programs that culminate in Ed.D. and Ed.S. degrees typically do not offer this research focus.
  • Many programs offer built-in opportunities to explore diversity and social justice issues. With specialized training in these areas, you can help address persistent achievement gaps and inequities in the U.S. education system.
  • With a Ph.D., your qualifications may carry more weight and credibility in professional circles. Doctoral degrees may also offer social and economic mobility, leading to a positive return on investment.

Did You Know?

  • According to 2023 data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), professionals with Ph.D. degrees have an unemployment rate of just 1.6%. In contrast, the BLS cited a national unemployment rate of 3% for 2023.
  • Doctoral degrees can unlock upper-level careers: According to 2023 BLS data , 72% of postsecondary education instructors and 57% of K-12 school administrators held advanced degrees in education.

Does Accreditation Matter for Online Doctoral Degrees?

Accreditation is an important feature of any program. If your school is not properly accredited, employers and other educational institutions may not consider your degree valid. Make sure any school you’re considering holds up-to-date accreditation. You can perform a check using Department of Education research tools .

The best online literacy programs may also hold specialized accreditations. Though these programmatic accreditations are optional, they can help guide you to programs whose quality has been verified through multiple sources. Agencies like the Council for the Accreditation of Educator Preparation , the International Dyslexia Association , and the Association for Advancing Quality in Educator Preparation offer programmatic accreditation for education degrees.

What To Expect From an Online Doctorate in Literacy

Programs that award a Ph.D. tend to emphasize literacy research and theory. This focus differentiates Ph.D. literacy programs from Ed.D. and Ed.S. degrees, both of which usually center on applied practice. Ed.D degrees are typically reserved for leadership-oriented practitioners, while Ed.S. programs often function as terminal professional credentials for classroom-based educators.

Credit requirements for literacy and reading Ph.D. programs vary by school. At the lower end, degrees consist of about 60 credits, while more intensive curricula cover up to 90 credits. Most programs take 3-4 years of full-time study. You may face a longer graduation timeline based on factors like academic requirements and part- or full-time enrollment.

Curricula tend to emphasize instructional theory, qualitative and quantitative research methods, and statistical analysis. In most cases, your dissertation will account for a significant portion of your overall credit requirements. Creating a dissertation typically includes proposing, writing, revising, and defending original research.

Admission Requirements

For their Ph.D. in literacy programs, schools often require candidates to hold a master’s degree in education . You may also find programs that accept applicants with a bachelor’s degree in education and a master’s degree in a closely related area, such as educational or developmental psychology.

Some programs may require standardized test scores like the GRE, while others do not consider these scores at all. Ph.D. programs in reading and literacy may stipulate that applicants hold 2-3 years of relevant professional experience. In other cases, such experience may be preferred or optional but not mandatory.

Other required application materials typically include:

  • Academic transcripts
  • Personal essay or statement of purpose
  • Resume or CV
  • Letters of recommendation from qualified professionals

Degree and Specialization Options

Reading and literacy is already a specialized topic within the field of education. Even so, Ph.D. programs often afford learners the opportunity to build advanced expertise in narrower, more concentrated areas.

These specializations may include:

  • Reading and literacy in early and middle childhood
  • Early interventions for literacy challenges in children
  • Multicultural literacy
  • Reading and literacy in adult learners
  • Educational technology in reading and literacy

Depending on the program, you may also be able to design your own concentration or specialization through electives and dissertation research.

Popular Courses

Specific coursework requirements for reading and literacy doctoral programs differ between schools. Programs have varying practicum, capstone, dissertation, and endorsement criteria. Students who pursue a literacy doctorate online may encounter courses similar such as:

  • Electronic Assessment in Literacy Classrooms: In this course, students learn about electronic portfolio assessment in K-12 literacy curricula. Students discuss the benefits and applications of print- and technology-based assessment approaches.
  • Instructional Approaches in Reading, Writing, and Language: This course explores cognitive, physiological, and psychological theories related to reading and writing skill development.
  • New Literacies and Multiliteracies in Education: In this course, students examine theories, research, and curricular elements related to the new literacy studies model. Lessons emphasize the importance of contextualized reading education.

How Much Will an Online Ph.D. in Literacy Cost?

The National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) cites the following average graduate school tuition costs for the 2021-22 school year:

  • Public institutions: $12,596
  • Private for-profit: $14,161
  • Private nonprofit: $29,931
  • All school types: $20,513

Use these averages as indicators for estimating the costs you may face. Note that some of the best online literacy programs may cost less than their campus-based counterparts. For instance, some public schools charge all learners in-state tuition regardless of student state residency. Other schools may offer a lower online-only tuition rate.

As an online learner, budget for additional costs like:

  • Technology fees
  • Software licenses or subscriptions
  • Equipment upgrades
  • Telecommunication services

If you need help funding your Ph.D. in literacy, start by researching scholarships, grants, and other sources of aid that do not require repayment. Many schools offer funding to Ph.D. students — including teaching and research assistantships that offer tuition remission and a stipend — so investigate these options at each school on your list. As a last resort, you can apply for federal and private loans.

What is the difference between a Ph.D., Ed.D., and Ed.S.?

A Ph.D. is an academically oriented doctoral degree, while Ed.D. and Ed.S. degrees are generally geared toward advanced practitioners. Though Ed.D. degrees are also doctorates, they’re more common among leadership-oriented education professionals working in institutional settings. An Ed.S. is a terminal postgraduate degree typically reserved for classroom teachers.

Is an online Ph.D. recognized by employers?

NCES data reveals the national average cost of a year of tuition and fees for graduate programs in the 2021-22 school year was $20,513. Private schools tend to cost more than public institutions, and public colleges and universities usually offer their lowest rates to in-state students. However, schools may offer more affordable tuition to online degree-seekers.

History of Tyumen Oblast

People began to explore Western Siberia about 15-20 thousand years ago. Western Siberia was inhabited by the tribes of the Khanty and Mansi (Voguls), Nenets (Samoyed), Selkups (Ostyaks-Samoyeds). At the end of the first millennium AD, the Turkic tribes inhabited the south of the present Tyumen region; later, they formed into an ethnic community of the Siberian Tatars.

In the 13th-16th centuries, Chingi-Tura (Chimgi-Tura), the capital of the Tyumen Khanate of the Tatars and Kereits, was standing on the bank of the Tyumenka River. The khanate was in vassal dependence on the Golden Horde. Around 1500, the ruler of the Tyumen Khanate united the greater part of Western Siberia by creating the Siberian Khanate with the capital in the town of Kashlyk, also known as Sibir and Isker.

The Siberian khans waged numerous wars against the Astrakhan Khanate, the Nogai Horde, raided on Russian territory. In 1563, Kuchum became the khan. He managed to unite the previously hostile Tatar tribes, subordinated the Vogul and Samoyed tribes to his influence.

In order to protect their territories from the Tatars, the Urals merchants and industrialists of Stroganov hired the Cossack detachment headed by Ermak to their service. In 1582, the Cossacks began a campaign against the Siberian Khanate. In the autumn of 1582, there was a decisive battle against the troops headed by Kuchum. In the battle at the Chuvash cape, the khan’s forces were defeated.

More Historical Facts…

The Cossacks’ military campaign in Siberia lasted four years. The main forces of the Siberian Tatars were defeated. Even after the death of Ermak in 1585, the khanate could not gain its former strength. The campaign of Ermak opened the way for the Russian migration to Siberia.

In 1586, the construction of a stockaded settlement began on the Tura River. Later, it became the first Russian town in Siberia - Tyumen. In 1587, the stockaded settlement of Tobolsk was founded, 17 km from the Tatar settlement of Sibir (Kashlyk, Isker) (the capital of the Siberian Khanate). In 1593-1594, the towns of Berezov and Surgut were founded. With the expansion of land routes to Eastern Siberia, more Russian towns were founded. In 1590, Tobolsk became the main center of Siberia.

In the 17th century, Tobolsk and Tyumen, as trade and craft centers, reached the level of the towns of the European part of Russia. Since the end of the 17th century, stone construction began - the first stone buildings beyond the Urals appeared in Tobolsk. The only Kremlin in the eastern part of Russia was built in Tobolsk. In 1708, Tobolsk became the administrative center of the largest province in Russia - Siberian province.

One of the factors that determined the life of Western Siberia was the political exile. In the second quarter of the 19th century, the Decembrists were exiled to Tobolsk gubernia (province). Other representatives of liberation movements of Russia - Radishev, Dostoyevsky, Petrashevsky and a lot of others - also experienced imprisonment in Tobolsk.

In the 18th-19th centuries, Tobolsk was the administrative, cultural and spiritual center of Siberia. Tyumen was a commercial and industrial center. Located at the intersection of trade routes between the West and the East, Tyumen turned into a “gateway to Siberia.” Through Tyumen, the path of settlers from the European part of the Russian Empire passed after the abolition of serfdom and during the Stolypin agrarian reform.

The development of the region intensified during the construction of the Trans-Siberian Railway. Several natives of the region became world famous: D.I. Mendeleev (Tobolsk) - one of the greatest chemists and the author of the periodic system, P.P. Ershov (Tobolsk) - a poet, storyteller, author of “The Horse - Hunchback”, G.E. Rasputin (Pokrovskoye village) - the favorite of the last Russian emperor.

In 1917-1918, the family of Nikolai Romanov, the last Russian emperor, was under the arrest in Tobolsk. The town was one of the centers of the largest popular uprising against the Bolsheviks - a peasant uprising in Siberia in 1921-1922. During the Soviet era, the region continued to be a place of exile, part of the Gulag - a system of forced-labor camps.

In the 1920s-1940s, the territory remained mainly agricultural. During the Second World War, a number of industrial enterprises, scientific institutions, ministries, and departments were evacuated to this region. Since the summer of 1941, the body of V.I. Lenin was kept in Tyumen. August 14, 1944, Tyumen oblast with a center in Tyumen was formed, the region also included the Khanty-Mansi and Yamal-Nenets districts.

In 1964, a new page in the history of the Tyumen region began. The discovery of significant oil and natural gas deposits became the basis for the creation of one of the world’s largest oil and gas complexes. The development of oil and gas fields radically changed life in the Tyumen region. Several new towns founded: Novy Urengoy, Nadym, Noyabrsk, and others.

In record time, the Tyumen region became the country’s main oil and gas power base. By the end of the 1980s, the region annually produced about 400 million tons of oil and 574.2 billion cubic meters of natural gas. The development of the natural resources of Tyumen oblast became a matter of the whole country. The population increased tenfold.
