EDU 306 Teaching Reading in the Secondary Content Areas (ESOL-infused course)
This course is designed for the teacher candidate to understand the principles of scientifically based reading research as the foundation of comprehensive instruction that synchronizes and scaffolds each of the major components of the reading process toward student mastery. Teacher candidates will gain substantive knowledge of language structure, function, and cognition for each of the five major components of the reading process, including phonemic awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, comprehension, and integration of major reading components. Students develop and analyze instructional strategies that promote understanding across all academic disciplines. Upon completion of this course, teacher candidates will have a greater understanding of the reading process and will be able to apply this knowledge to maximize instructional effectiveness for students from a variety of academic backgrounds in all classroom settings. This course requires students to brainstorm, research, present information, and engage in draft writing, revising, and peer editing.
