Coursework will focus on the influences of motivation and prior knowledge, phonological awareness, work recognition vocabulary, comprehension, fluency, metacognition, writing, spelling, and reading to learn. During the 30-hour tutorial candidates will interview a student at the Preschool-Grade 6 or Grades 5-12 level to establish rapport and gain knowledge of his/her literacy interests. Candidates will use an informal reading inventory and/or an array of emergent literacy, phonological awareness, and phonics tests. Candidates will interpret the results of all assessments and create, implement, monitor, evaluate, and modify individualized instructional plans based on the student's specific strengths, needs, and progress in the language arts. Candidates will compose detailed reports and will model a lesson for parents/ guardians in order to facilitate continued support and progress. (Summer). Prerequisites: enrollment in MSEd Literacy Educator program; completion of at least 24 hours of coursework toward that degree, including EDR509 and either EDR511 or EDR512.
