This course will lay the foundation in each of the five pillars of reading instruction (phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary and comprehension) so that teachers understand the theory, research, and practices needed to empower themselves as teachers of reading. Attention will be paid to foundational literacy development as it pertains to the needs of diverse learners. This course includes an 8-10-hour Reading Practicum.
