ED 672 : LIT DIAG & REMED II WITH PRACTICUM

This course is designed to prepare students to teach reading and language arts in upper elementary grades (3rd-8th grade). With higher grades being a focus in this class, you will focus on helping students "read to learn" as opposed to "learning to read". The emphasis is on differentiating instruction to meet varying and diverse student needs with assessment and instruction of the following topics: (a) advanced phonics, (b) fluency, (c) vocabulary (e.g., word learning strategies), (d) comprehension of literary and informational text, (e) writing, and (f) new literacies of the Internet. Students will administer and analyze the Qualitative Reading Inventory (QRI). Practicum required.

NOTE: Must be fully accepted into the Teacher Education Program and meet CAEP requirements in order to register for this course.
