Understanding Reading: Principles and Practices

Description:
This course introduces theoretical and instructional issues in the development of reading, writing, listening, and speaking. It engages participants in reflective, critical consideration of students' diverse needs in the acquisition of literacy. Strong emphasis is given to assessment-driven instruction in a comprehensive literacy program requiring eight hours of daytime field experience. Topics include a study of oral language as it affects emergent literacy development via use of the running record; literacy lesson planning; strategies for beginning reading and writing; classroom management issues related to responsive, differentiated literacy instruction; and ideas for strengthening the home-school connection. A consistent focus is the teacher's role as a knowledgeable decision-maker and skilled practitioner in facilitating literacy learning in a caring, principled, respectful manner.
