When Readers Struggle: Teaching That Works (5 credits) EDRD 5758

Description

When Readers Struggle: Teaching That Works is a comprehensive resource on struggling readers. The course covers specific teaching ideas for helping children in kindergarten through Grade 3 who are having difficulty in reading and writing.

Educators want young students to think and behave like effective readers who not only solve words skillfully but comprehend deeply and read fluently. To achieve this goal, we need to place students in situations where they can succeed and then provide powerful teaching. The course offers numerous examples and descriptions of instruction that can help initially struggling readers become strategic readers. When Readers Struggle: Teaching That Works focuses on small-group intervention and individual interactions during reading and writing. It illustrates how to closely observe readers to make the best possible teaching decisions for them as well as how to support struggling readers in whole-class settings.
