EDR 569 Structured Literacy

This course employs a highly structured sound-by-sound approach for teaching word decoding and spelling, incorporating traditional phonics and Visual-Auditory-Kinesthetic-Tactile (VAKT) methodology, and is particularly effective for struggling students and students who have been identified with dyslexia, or any of a variety of language-based learning disabilities. Participants examine procedures for teaching letters and sounds, utilizing the phonics generalizations to decode regular and irregular spelling patterns, and structures for teaching explicit comprehension.
