  • As a high school English teacher, one of the most important insights I’ve taken from this course is a deeper understanding of reading as a multidimensional process. For years, I’ve taught literature and composition, but this course has helped me better recognize the cognitive layers involved in reading. This perspective has reminded me that even at the high school level, students may still be refining foundational skills and need strategic support. The emphasis on vocabulary instruction was another key takeaway.

  • I found this class to be very helpful in my current teaching role. This class helped give me the necessary information to design a format for my reading instruction that would meet the needs of my students. Learning about various reading assessments was very helpful and enabled me to teach my students on their current instructional level. My school currently uses DIBELS and the material covered in this class helped me have a deeper understanding of the assessment and its application. This is a comprehensive assessment that looks at the different components of reading. This class also helped me revaluate my use of visual aids. The section on vocabulary strategies had a lot of information.
