| Introduction
to the Reading Module for EDN 503, 504, 5050, and 506
Welcome to the Reading Module.
This intro is to show you how the course is laid out, to point you
to key concepts and features, and to tell you how to complete the
culminating assessment and get credit for your work.
Layout of Materials.
The materials for this course are in numbered Modules (the icons
for the modules are backpacks). The first is Module 1; the last
is Module 4. Begin by reading the materials for Module 1. You will
find the materials to be read under the heading: Notes.
Unlike a regular class, there are no tests or assignments for the
modules. However, you are required to read the materials thoroughly
and to follow the links that are available to you.
Key Concepts.
The field of reading is too vast to present in depth in these modules.
Instead, you will be given an overview of reading research and several
practical applications that you can use in your own classroom. The
concepts in the modules are:
- No Child Left Behind and
Reading First
- Scientifically-proven pedagogy
- The five key skills of early
reading
- Pre-reading and Prior Knowledge
Strategies
- Vocabulary
- Comprehension: Principles
and Integrated Approaches
Culminating Assessment.
The only graded part of these modules is the Culminating Assessment.
In it, you will be required to write a Reading lesson plan, using
a basketball, a baseball, and a soccer ball as inductive devices.
Once you've finished the lesson plan, email it to me at gilld@uncw.edu.
I will grade it and give you feedback. Once you have satisfactorily
completed the assessment, I will notify your instructor.
