Delivery Options Distance Learning

Course Description

The Reading Mind explains the fascinating journey from seeing letters, then words, sentences, with the author highlighting each step along the way. This course covers every aspect of reading, starting with two fundamental processes: reading by sight and reading by sound. It also addresses reading comprehension at all levels, from reading for understanding at early levels to inferring deeper meaning from texts and novels in high school. The course considers the undeniable connection between reading and writing, as well as the important role of motivation as it relates to reading. It tackles the intersection of our rapidly changing technology and its effects on learning to read and reading.
