READ 2110 - Introduction to Literacy Assessment and Instruction


Credit Hours: 3
This course is a comprehensive overview of literacy assessment and instructional strategies to meet the specific literacy difficulties of children functioning on reading grade levels Pre-K-12. It emphasizes informal literacy assessment and modeling and scaffolding comprehension/metacognition, vocabulary, word identification (print skill), motivational, and fluency strategies. Students engage in these literacy assessment and instructional tasks on their levels for self-improvement and then simulate the assessment and instruction of children on various reading grade levels with various literacy difficulties. Finally, as they master these procedures, students apply this knowledge in the field. They assess and tutor children in a community program. Technology will be utilized.
