Reading 370 - Reading and Literacy II (Three semester hours)

This course builds upon the theoretical foundations of reading and literacy presented in the previous course, Reading 350. The teacher-in-training will explore how to integrate school reading and writing instructions. Fifteen hours of lab will provide time for field observation of children and teachers to connect theory with actual practice. The focus of this course is an examination of how TEKS can be implemented with basal readers, tradebooks, literature, cognition, reading comprehension, comprehension strategies, formal assessments, and informal assessment strategies.

Prerequisites: Elementary Education 300, Reading 350; minimum overall GPA of 2.50 and must have passed TSI.
