SPED 324 Diagnostic-Based Interv in Literacy Inst

This course addresses four key components of assessment-driven literacy instruction: (1) formal and informal assessments of students’ reading interests, attitudes, and abilities; (2) research-based reading strategies, methods, and techniques; (3) instructional planning based on diagnostic data; and (4) reporting students’ literacy strengths and growth areas with recommendations for continued development. Course content and outcomes align with the International Literacy Association (ILA) standards and the Montana Reading Specialist K–12 standards (ARM 10.58.521). Students complete a supervised clinical field experience consisting of ten one-on-one sessions with an assigned K–5 student.
