This course addresses the linguistic, neurological, cognitive, and sociocultural factors that influence readers and writers. Participants study relevant research, theories, and instructional approaches proposed by the science of reading research, including technology and multimedia, to support phonics as a fundamental component of effective reading, writing, and spelling programs. An emphasis is placed on explicit, sequential instruction in phonemic awareness and phonics, with the support of technology and multimedia, to promote early literacy development. National and state standards in literacy and the role of phonics in students' reading and writing achievement are discussed.
