This course focuses on the most current research, theory, and methods of reading instruction that are supported by the Science of Reading. Teacher candidates will examine the foundations of reading development as well as formal and informal reading assessments used to identify students' strengths, weaknesses, and reading levels. Instructional techniques, including Structured Literacy, research-based phonics instruction, strategies for teaching learners with dyslexia, and intervention practices for working with exceptional learners are modeled. In addition, candidates will examine the writing process and ways to promote skill development for exceptional learners.
