  • One of the most valuable concepts I am taking from this course is the understanding that reading is not a single skill, but rather a complex process that requires attention.

  • 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.

  • Excellent course and I appreciate the insightful feedback.
    Diane R.
  • 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.

  • I’m looking forward to implementing some of the ideas I have learned in this course. I've learned a great deal in this course. I found it very interesting that working memory is such a huge component of reading skills.
    Tamara S.
  • What I have learned in this course will definitely shape the way I approach my tutoring sessions going forward. I now feel more confident breaking down phonics concepts into management steps and delivering them in a consistent way.
    Martine M.
  • I truly enjoyed this course because the format was not difficult to follow and it was rich in information and topics that a teacher needs to be successful in teaching reading to primary age students.
    Dolores V.
  • This was a great class to help with different reading strategies I can be using with using with my ELL students. My colleagues and I are looking to try guided reading with our ELLs in the fall so this class was very helpful for me.
    Katie T.

    Michelle G.

    Kimberley T.
