Reading

Description:

Prerequisities: READ 514 and 515 Master's degree course for the elementary candidate. This course provides instruction in the teaching of children who experience difficulty in learning to read. Specifically, the course addresses reading problems as language problems and suggests communicative techniques that have shown to be effective in shifting the language system in order to improve reading ability. The course is designed to provide alternative certification candidates with an understanding of the language demands encountered by elementary children once they enter school and the effects of language disorders on the acquisition of written language. Principles of the Conceptual Framework of the Graduate Program of Centenary College, principles of the Interstate New Teacher Assessment and Support Consotrium (INTASC), attributes of the Louisiana Components of Effective Teaching (LCET), and standards of the Association of Childhood Education International (ACEI) are embedded into the objectives of this course, as appropriate. This course includes 18 hours of field experience. The form of the course is: 1) modeling and demonstration of intervention strategies for alternative certification candidates to use in their classes, and 2) practical application of the strategies with disabled readers twice to thrice a week with onsite demonstration and assistance from the professor, and videotaping of intervention for evaluation of performance.
