This course is designed to introduce the student to the basic principles and practices in the teaching, assessment, and remediation of reading in the primary grades.

Foundations for critical, creative, and evaluative reading related to a Christian view will also be explored and incorporated in the student's development of reading lessons. Students will examine the assessment tools available to the teacher to gain the information needed to design appropriate instruction. All students must demonstrate a competency in basic phonics knowledge.
