Courses I Teach

Advanced Reading Assess-Intervention
-
EDU 5641-030
This continuing education course is designed to help educators develop in-depth theoretical and practicum knowledge of effective research-based assessment and intervention for beginning readers at-risk for reading failure. For normally-achieving readers, these phases occur during kindergarten and 1st grade; however, many struggling readers in older grades maintain similar behaviors as a result of environmental and/or neurobiological problems. -
