Nature Of Reading

Catalog description

In this course, a broad inquiry is made into the nature of the reading process and the individual differences of learners. Various theoretical perspectives on the reading process and on factors that influence reading achievement are examined. Students also learn how these specific perspectives impact on teachers' concepts of emergent literacy/readiness, choices of instructional goals, methodologies, selection of materials, determinants of reading development and success, and forms and goals of assessment.
