RDG 426 - Reading Interventions and Remediation

Credit Hours: 3

Focuses on reading intervention strategies and remediation based on assessment and diagnosis of reading difficulties in oral language, fluency, reading comprehension, vocabulary, and spelling. Students develop a field-based case study of an elementary or middle school reader, identify strengths and weaknesses of various components of reading, plan and execute interventions, and evaluate the child’s response to intervention. Interventions include a balanced reading instruction approach and home-based connections based on the reader’s needs. Students communicate the results of the intervention response to the reader, family, and classroom teacher or specialist.
