EDN 563 - Diagnostic Reading Instruction

3.00 credit hours
Students are introduced to the nature of literacy development and the learning difficulties children may face as they are developing as readers. The focus of the course will be on the interactive view of reading ability and disability, which suggests that reading is the process of constructing meaning through interaction between the reader, the text and the context of the reading situation. Students will be exposed to a variety of alternative teaching strategies and materials to help students solve their problems with reading. Emphasis will be placed on a holistic and ongoing approach to the diagnostic process and the relationship between diagnostic assessment and instructional planning. Students may not receive credit for both EDN 463 and EDN 563.

Prerequisite(s): EDN 562 . Concurrent enrollment in EDN 564 .
