MEDUC 532 - Materials for Teaching Reading

Credits: (3)
Assists teacher candidates in selecting and evaluating materials for teaching reading and related skills that are consistent with the findings of scientifically based reading research. Teacher candidates should leave this course with an understanding of research-supported programs, approaches and methods so that they can address different levels of reading proficiency within the classroom and enable students to become strategic, fluent and independent readers. Participants will be prepared to involve parents and members of the school and surrounding community to promote daily reading both inside and outside of school. Field experience is required (three 1-hour blocks total). MSDE approved. Fall
