I would like to learn about the activities and strategies best practice educators use to enhance literacy education for their students including those at-risk of reading and writing difficulties. I am also interested in learning about the typical developmental trajectory of literacy skills so that I have a better sense of when I should be teaching certain topics.

I hope by the end of this course to feel confident teaching all students how to read and write. This includes developing basic skills such as decoding but also those associated with comprehension.
