EDUE-513 Teaching Developing Readers

This course takes a developmental approach to reading and literacy instruction for the elementary grades. Using the "five pillars" of reading (phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension) as an organizational framework, teachers explore the characteristics of intermediate and advanced readers and plan and implement developmentally appropriate assessments, materials, and strategies for instruction. The course addresses text structures, specialized vocabulary, content area and interdisciplinary reading, literature, the reading-writing connection, critical thinking, comprehension, research and study skills, multiple literacies, and effective use of current technologies.
