Mayville State University has earned an “A” rating from the National Council on Teacher Quality (NCTQ) for excellence in preparing future elementary teachers to teach reading.
This distinction highlights MSU’s strong alignment with the science of reading, ensuring graduates are equipped to teach the five essential components of literacy: phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. With early literacy playing a critical role in lifelong success, we’re proud to be part of the solution, preparing educators who are ready to make an impact from day one.
Congratulations to our Division of Education faculty and students for their commitment to evidence-based instruction and literacy leadership across North Dakota and beyond!
