Balanced Reading Techniques

Description

The pendulum for reading has swung from phonics to whole word and back to phonics. Teachers struggle with a variety of conflicting issues ranging from state or district law and policy to personal preference and “what’s best for this individual child.” Learning theory, research, and current trends are moving the process towards what is called “balanced reading.” This course provides information, research, practical techniques, and exercises that address the various elements of a balanced reading program.

Course Type

A huge library of information is available on the Internet for you to use to research and develop curriculum, but you may find it intimidating or too complicated to become comfortable with this valuable resource tool. These courses have two objectives: to help you learn the various research tools step-by-step from the basics so you become a proficient Internet researcher on any topic, and to explore and discover educationally useful information on the topic you chose to apply to your role as teacher, counselor, or administrator. All courses in this series are three semester hours and available as “On-Line” or “E-Courses.” All materials needed for the course are provided and your instructor is available daily by email or phone.
