EDU 243WI - Diagnosis and Correction of Reading Problems

(3 credits) (Writing intensive)
Diagnosis and Correction of Reading Problems focuses both on the role of formative and summative assessment in the teaching of reading. In addition, significant attention is paid to the identification and remediation of reading problems including dyslexia. Students will study the design, development, implementation and evaluation of remediation for students with reading problems, including diagnostic and prescriptive procedures for individuals and groups of students. Students will be required to write and revise their work for professional audiences. Formal and informal assessment procedures will be examined. Writing is a significant part of each assignment. Students will be expected to complete the Dyslexia Overview module offered through the Iowa Reading Research Center during this course.

Note: This course includes a field experience.
