EDUC 0317 - Analysis and Correction of Reading Difficulties (with Apprenticeship)

Credits: 3

This course offers the prospective teacher the background, strategies, and materials for the diagnosis and remediation of reading difficulties. Topics will include the nature and causes of reading disabilities, diagnostic, and remediation strategies in the areas of phonemic awareness, word recognition, comprehension, meta-comprehension, improving meaning vocabulary, and guiding content area reading. Both formal and informal methods of diagnosis will be presented. The class will move from theory to practice in the course as each student begins a biweekly apprenticeship working individually with a remedial reader at a local school. The professor will be on site to support and model the various assessment and teaching strategies. This course is aligned with the subject matter regulations and professional standards for teachers as prescribed by the Massachusetts Department of Education.

Prerequisites: EDUC 0303  and permission of the Professor.
