EDRD 463/563 - Reading and Writing Strategies for Middle and Secondary Content Areas
Term Offered: Spring
This course explores current views and practices of teaching reading and writing in the middle and secondary school content areas. This exploration includes topics related to the implementation of strategies for developing reading fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, as well as writing skills within the middle and secondary school content areas. Further explorations will serve to support an understanding of how oral reading and writing development contribute to the overall development of the secondary student’s literacy skills. Students will analyze how phonemic awareness, phonics, morphology, syntax, and vocabulary contribute to the literacy skills of the secondary student especially as such skills relate to developing writing skills. An emphasis will be placed on methods and the selection of curricular materials for implementing instruction based on instructional interventions for students with reading and writing deficits, such as dyslexia. Application will be made to state and national standards. Students will become competent in applying assessment strategies for the improvement of student learning. A study of state-mandated assessment is included. A ten (10) clock hour field experience is included in the scope of this course.
Note: Students taking this course for graduate credit must complete all graduate course requirements.
