The goal of this course is to develop effective reading teachers to work with students in a remedial/enrichment tutoring situation. Topics include analyzing literacy data gathered through formal and informal assessments, creating and evaluating reading programs, providing lesson planning assistance to teachers, and aiding paraprofessionals through professional development. Pretesting, determining an intervention plan, post testing, and writing a diagnostic report are elements of the intervention process. The Role of Phonics in Reading (ED 521), Principles of Literacy Instruction (ED 556), and Diagnosis and Correction of Reading Problems (ED 557) are prerequisites for this course.
