This subject focuses on teaching students who have difficultles with reading. Students
struggle with reading for a variety of reasons, although a significant proportion
of students have key issues in common. It is inapproporate to attempt the same approach
for all students who have difficulty, and therefore the educators' task is to devise
the most appropriate intervention for individual students. In order to approach this
task the educator requires two fundamental resources. The first is an awareness of
the omplexities of reading so that the task is not under-estimated and individual
students are better understood. The second is knowledge of a range of assessment and
core instruction techniques to inform and assist the educator in developing programs
for students who are experiencing difficulties with reading. The aim of this subject
is to enhance students' knowledge of the reading process, difficulties that students
may experience with reading, strategies for teaching reading, and assessment of reading
related skills.
Learning Outcomes
- demonstrate a broad and coherent understanding of research into reading difficulties
encountered by students from diverse backgrounds and abilities;
- examine and demonstrate knowledge of a range of strategies used when teaching students
who are struggling with reading;
- demonstrate knowledge and understanding of assessment strategies used with students
who experience difficulties in learning to read.

Assumed Knowledge:
|
It is assumed that participants have a strong knowledge about teaching and, in particular,
the teaching of reading. This subject builds on observations about children who experience
difficulty with reading and should represent a way of helping you to cope more effectively
with this challenge. While ED4496 or the earlier ED4403 are not prerequisites for
this subject, it is preferable for students to undertake ED4306 after doing one of
those because of the need to come to this subject with an understanding of the reading
process.
