Catalog description

This course reviews the skills and knowledge required to support the developmental reading and literacy skills of middle and secondary students. Participants examine methods of teaching reading across the curriculum, including teaching reading of literature in individual, group, and whole-class settings in junior and senior high schools. Effective instructional practices for teaching reading skills to learn new information and to write reports, strategies for teaching writing skills to foster literary understanding, and differences in literacy instruction for junior and senior high school levels are also examined.
