EDC 334 - Assessment, Instruction & Intervention in Reading

Semester Hour(s): 3
This course will address the use of formal and informal assessment procedures used to design and evaluate reading instruction and intervention for children in preschool through high school. Participants will gain the knowledge and skills needed to choose and give appropriate reading assessments for a variety of purposes, use data-based decision making to guide instructional planning and intervention design, and understand struggling readers, including those with reading disabilities. Participants will apply both formal and informal assessments to a problem-solving model aimed and design robust reading instruction. An emphasis will be placed on creating Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) to support all students.
