EDUC 242 — Instruction of Reading
(formerly ED 215) Facilitates understanding and use of a representative array of research-based instructional techniques and strategies in the area of reading. The course emphasizes instructional routines and strategies in the five major components of reading instruction (phonological and phonemic awareness; phonics, spelling and word study; fluency; vocabulary development; and comprehension) suitable for various age and ability groups. Throughout the course, students will demonstrate their skill with instructional routines and strategies through role-play, live demonstrations, and critique of models, and review the research evidence relevant to those approaches.
