EDUC 627 - Teaching and Assessing Literacy Across the Content Areas

Participants prepare to teach children how to read through analysis of the reading process and of different approaches to reading instruction. Specifically, balanced and structured approaches to literacy instruction are examined in conjunction with well-established theories and models (e.g., the Simple View of Reading, Scarborough’s Reading Rope). Emphasis is placed on assessment, data analysis, and adapting the teaching of reading and writing to meet the needs of diverse learners. This course addresses the Initial licensure standard for early childhood, elementary, and special education teachers in relation to the Massachusetts ELA Curriculum Frameworks.
