Assignment 1 and 2
A great deal of Reading instruction is understanding the definitions of the abundance of terms used in this field of study. This includes the use of reading comprehension strategies, explicit and implicit instruction, vocabulary development, understanding of grammar and language constructs, levels of text complexity and reading levels, use of expository and literary texts. The resources each week will provide an in-depth and concentrated exposure to all of these concepts and are full of rich information, including definitions and classroom teaching practices.
Your work for each week is to begin and then build on a personalized “file” of information that categorizes and provides an explicit and implicit approach that you may use in your as you gain a better understanding of the process of teaching, assessing, and remediating reading instruction for your students.
