The federal legislation enacted in 2001 mandates the use of scientifically-based research in programs receiving federal funding that deal with remedial readers. The concept of scientifically-validated methods is so prevalent in the legislation that it appears 110 times in these documents. This three-course Reading Fundamentals series will help improve your knowledge of science and the scientific process suggested for development of remedial reading programs.

The purpose of this second course in this three-course series is to lay the foundation for effective reading instruction. Students will learn about the elements of effective instruction. It is important that all teachers have a firm understanding of effective instructional procedures. Both teachers and their students benefit, in terms of their behavior and their academic performance, from effective instruction. 2 Undergraduate Credits.
