This course focuses on evidence -based instructional practices to promote word recognition, fluency, and comprehension along with procedures to assess children's development as they move from emergent literacy to learning to read and into the reading to learn stage. Designed for classroom teachers and support staff at all levels, the influence of research upon teaching procedures and the selection and use of reading materials for instruction will also be considered.

This class will provide a broad understanding of the processes by which students learn to read and write within the context of today's diverse learning communities.
