Reading Assessment and Instruction II

Catalog description

Crosslisted: RDG 3400 This course is a continuation of SED 4240 in the exploration of the use of reading, writing, spelling assessments to determine classroom intervention and instructional strategies for an advanced reader. It is designed to give teacher candidates the knowledge and skills to use systematic, explicit, multi-sensory methods to teach communication skills, reading, and written expression. It provides foundational information about stages of reading, spelling, and writing acquisition, factors that impact literacy success or failure, and the nature of literacy difficulties. This information serves as a context for learning about the implementation, administration, and interpretation of formal and informal classroom assessments for the purposes of screening, diagnosing, monitoring progress, and evaluating instruction.
