EDUC 301 - Foundations in Reading

Credit Hours: 3

A foundational course designed to develop competencies in teaching literacy skills. The content of this course examines the theoretical research and historical perspectives as related to reading education. Five components of a balanced literacy program are examined and these components are based on research of the National Reading Panel. Approaches to reading are examined as phonics; sight; linguistic; language experience approach; and the VAKT. Literacy educators and pioneers in reading education as Chall, Flesch, Fries, Allen, and Fernald are discussed to provide background information from a historical prospective to assure that students will have a knowledge of foundations.
