Educational Therapy: Structured Literacy I

Course Description

Structured Literacy I introduces you to the theories, issues, strategies, and materials related to literacy instruction and assessment for both reading and writing. While not focusing on students with learning difficulties, in this literacy course you will learn foundational skills for supporting all your students.

We will emphasize the science of reading and structured literacy, as well as best practices of instruction and informal assessment. You'll also practice developing materials and gain the skills to teach literacy to a broad range of students.

A two-part series

While Structured Literacy I (formerly Reading I) focuses in depth on the teaching of literacy, Structured Literacy II (formerly Reading II), focuses on teaching literacy to students with learning disabilities, speech and language disabilities, ADHD, ASD, and other challenges.

Both courses are required for the certificate in Educational Therapy and are closely aligned to the requirements of the Association of Educational Therapy.

You'll master the skills and knowledge you need to help all the diverse students who will come to you in your practice.
