EEL 561 - Literacy Processing: Exploring How Students Learn to Read and Write Part l This year long course is designed for educators who want to extend their knowledge of early reading and writing development, and deepen their expertise in supporting students with literacy learning difficulties. Areas of investigation will include understanding the needs of individual learners, assessment of early literacy competencies and procedures for analyzing and interpreting running records of oral reading behaviors, and procedures for promoting comprehension and strategic processing during reading and writing. Particular attention will be paid to current theory and research around topics such as literacy processing theory, brain research, oral language development, and the development of phonological awareness. Exploration of these topics is designed to help educators understand how individual students approach literacy acquisition and how to observe and teach to each student’s individual strengths and needs.
