This course focuses on teaching systematic and sequential literacy skills to early childhood, childhood, and adolescent pupils who have not learned to read in a manner that is commensurate with their abilities, and who display a multitude of individual difficulties. Theoretical concepts and diagnostic data are used to understand and build teacher-pupil relationships, develop prescriptions for instruction, select and create varied materials, implement, instruction, and evaluate progress at the early childhood levels, and grades five to twelve. Lectures and weekly supervised field-centered assignments in a school or clinical laboratory instruction on campus encourage the development of individual and small group approaches to literacy instruction.
