Struggling Readers PK-2

Catalog description

This course is designed for teachers who have basic knowledge about reading instruction but wish to broaden their knowledge and skills in remedial techniques and available materials.

How to closely observe readers to make the best possible teaching decisions for them as well as how to support struggling readers in whole-class settings, will also be discussed. Participants will be expected to apply the methods and techniques studied and to critique materials. FIve hours of fieldwork are required.
