READ 7018 - Literacy for All


3 cr.
It is a recommended goal that every child will be able to read on grade level or higher by the end of grade three. Scientific Research shows that there are five essential components of reading that children must be taught in order to learn to read. These components are Phonemic Awareness, Phonics, Fluency, Vocabulary, and Comprehension. These components are critical and must be combined to assure that all children become successful readers. This course is designed to help teachers first understand each component and then to examine which elements are in place, and then ask which of the elements need strengthening. Participants will learn how to tilt the balance temporarily toward one component or another if one is especially weak. They will learn how to deliver explicit, systematic, and intense instruction using these five components.
