Those certs are likely very specific to your state, so it's
hard for an outsider to judge. I would investigate which is
more preferred in your school district for the positions you
are interested in. Does either one allow you to be a reading
teacher or reading specialist, in case you want to go in
another direction later on? I would think any ELA, Literacy,
or Reading cert will help you tremendously in a K-5 elementary
classroom.
