EDCS-530 Foundation of Literacy: Beginning Reading

This course explores the components of early reading as defined by the National Reading Panel and the International Reading Association. Participants will build a knowledge base, including a portfolio of teaching strategies, for each component and then apply that knowledge in a classroom setting. Several modules will include brief discussions on compatible informal assessments. At the end of the course participants will construct a final capstone lesson plan that incorporates each early reading component for use in the classroom.
