Reading 1: Foundations of Instruction & Reading 2: Application of Evidence-Based Instructional Practices

*Reading 1 and Reading 2 are Co-requisites and must be taken together

Course Code: MRU RED4151 & MRU RED3312

In this course, learners will explore the research behind providing students with the foundations of reading instruction. Learners will gain an understanding of the six components of reading as a process. Specifically, the learner will be introduced to eight important aspects:

Understanding the six reading components of comprehension, oral language, phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, and vocabulary.
Applying the principles of research-based reading instruction and integrating the six components of reading to scaffold student learning.
Determining instructional practices that develop higher-order thinking skills and facilitate text-reading skills in appropriate content areas.
Selecting appropriate resources and materials for the subject matter and student literacy levels.
Engaging in the systematic problem-solving process to identify students with reading difficulties, including students with the characteristics of dyslexia, to provide appropriate interventions in tandem with progress monitoring.
Discovering how to scaffold student learning through the application of the principles of research-based reading instruction while integrating the six components of reading.
Administering and documenting appropriate formal and formal assessments to inform instruction to meet the needs of students within the six components of reading.
Selecting appropriate resources and materials for the subject matter and student literacy levels.
