- Course Description: History and Models of Reading: Prevention and Intervention of Reading Difficulties reintroduces students to literacy through the historical and scientific research perspective.
- Please briefly explain why it is necessary and/or desirable to add this course: This course is currently part of the Reading MA and the Reading Endorsement requirements. We are requesting a change in title and course description to be more inclusive of current research and mandates in reading.
- What is the need or demand for this course? (Indicate if this course is part of a required sequence in the major.) What other programs would this course service? It is part of our reading endorsement and our MA in Reading including certification in reading K-12.
- Has this course been offered as Selected Topics/Experimental Topics course? If yes, how many times? NA
- What qualifications for training and/or experience are necessary to teach this course? (List minimum qualifications for the instructor.) A Ph.D. in Reading
- Objectives: A. Students will develop an understanding of the different instructional models that have guided reading instruction in the last century, including whole word, letter-sound associations, readiness, direct instruction, whole language, and others.
CF-2, CF-6, FL AP-8, IRA AP-1; Florida Reading Competencies: 2
B. Students will develop conceptual understanding of the connections between theoretical models of literacy learning and the instructional models that emanate from the theory. CF-2, CF-4, CF-6, FL AP-11, IRA AP-2; Florida Reading Competencies: 2
C. Students will demonstrate in-depth understanding of the relationships between theory and practice by developing a model of the connections between literacy theory, literacy research, and literacy instruction and the larger social milieu.
CF-1, CF-4, CF-5; Florida Reading Competencies: 2
D. Students will demonstrate their understanding of paradigmatic shifts in literacy by completing a project that identifies the different paradigms in literacy, relates each to classroom practices, identifies the classic studies associated with the paradigm, and relates the paradigm to the societal movements that were occurring at the time. CF-1, CF-2, CF-4, CF-5, CF-6
- Learning Outcomes: 1. Research and prepare a written report and an oral presentation on one of the five key areas of reading instruction identified by the National Reading Panel: Phonemic Awareness, Phonics, Fluency, Vocabulary, and Comprehension. Include use of the references listed but go beyond into other sources as well. Determine the model(s) influencing the research, and the history of instruction in your topic. Review the support and critiques.
References and resources for readings include the following texts, though comparable sources might be used, (e.g., more recent editions, other articles by same authors, more recent research or reporting of research), in order to stay abreast of effective practices
