The purpose of the course is to develop the instructional competencies of school personnel to effectively teach students with persistent reading problems as well as to select and implement comprehensive reading programs within their schools. Although the focus of this course is on students who have shown persistent problems learning to read(especially those students identified as having special education needs who are participating in regular classrooms), the information is also appropriate for the individuals interested in developing early intervention programs. Field experiences required.
