EDU 536 Intensive Reading and Writing in a Least Restrictive Environment

3 Credits

This course is designed for students to gain an understanding of intensive instructional strategies in reading and writing in a least restrictive environment. Students demonstrate a conceptual understanding of the components of reading and writing and describe how these areas pose challenges for students in a PK-Grade 4 least restrictive environment. They are also taught to clearly articulate and model the use of explicit and systematic instruction in the teaching of literacy for students with disabilities across all reading levels and to identify evidence-based instructional practices that help students with disabilities succeed with reading and writing in a least restrictive class setting.
