This is the last lecture in the series by Dr Grace Elliott and ELmma Hartnell-Barker and will cover best practice in the assessment of reading comprehension, and the most up-to-date interventions to support the development of reading comprehension for primary and secondary-age students.
Introduction
This lecture will start by discussing best practice in the assessment of reading comprehension. It will go on to cover how the newly developed and evidence-based ‘Reading for Meaning’ intervention programme can be used to deliver 1:1 and small group interventions for students with reading comprehension disorders. The resources for this programme will be provided in the course handouts.
Course Description
It is widely regarded that learning to read is one of the most crucial aspects of a child’s learning, and a great deal of a child’s formal education will depend upon being able to read with understanding. Children with specific reading-comprehension difficulties understand texts accurately when they read aloud, but they show significant problems in comprehending those texts. Despite a widespread assumption that children can read with understanding when they leave primary school, international assessments show that 20% of adolescents are unable to comprehend simple texts. This lecture will discuss best practice in the assessment of reading comprehension. It will then go on to cover how to ameliorate the reading comprehension difficulties of primary and secondary age children with specific reading comprehension disorders.
In the course delegates will consider in detail:
- The components of reading comprehension
- Best practice in the assessment of reading comprehension
- Practical and evidence-based intervention for children with reading comprehension difficulties, including interventions for the individual components of reading comprehension
Course Outcome
- To understand best practice in the assessment of reading comprehension
