This covers all we know about word recognition and reading comprehension among adults and begins to explore how children learn to read and the problems of acquired dyslexia and developmental dyslexia. Recommended for the Concurrent Education students. This is a continuation of PSYC 365. All students are required to complete a series of readings on the child's acquisition of literacy and to work as a volunteer reading coach with someone who is learning to read or to recover the ability to read. We meet in small groups to discuss our experiences and observations.
Students maintain a journal of their observations and reflections based on readings.
