ED 4400 - Assessing Literacy Development and Teaching Struggling Readers

(3)
Students learn to assess literacy development of elementary grade students using a variety of authentic assessment techniques, including informal reading inventories, retellings, running records, and miscue analysis. They also evaluate standardized and criterion referenced tests for reading and language arts in elementary grades. Students learn how and when to use instructional strategies to help elementary grade students develop fluency, comprehension, and word analysis strategies (including phonics) in appropriate contexts. Students practice these strategies during school site field experience.
