Overview
Education 424 is designed to provide students with practical experience teaching young children at risk for
acquiring learning disabilities. The course will provide student's experiences that will allow them to work
effectively with children and youth who are struggling readers and writers. The students will be able to work
one on one with a young child during the summer reading program held in Fort St. John. While many of the
experiences and education focuses on small group and one on one instruction the strategies can be used to
provide differentiated instruction for all children in a classroom environment.
In May and June the students will review theories of reading and writing and develop and conduct an informal
assessment of a child's reading and writing ability. The ACHOTE student will be assigned a child to work
during the third class. During the month of July (July 4th to 22nd), the child will attend a summer reading
camp for one hour of tutoring.
The course can be broken down into three Modules:
Module One:
Informal Assessment of Reading and Writing Development
ACHOTE students will be introduced to informal assessment techniques for reading and writing. They will
then apply their knowledge to the student assigned to them. The ACHOTE student will be expected to
complete a report indicating the results of their assessment. During this module you will be given various tools
to determine a child's reading and writing levels.
Module Two:
Dynamic assessment and intervention planning
AHOTE students will be introduced to intervention planning techniques and dynamic assessment. The
ACHOTE students will demonstrate their knowledge of these skills by creating an intervention plan and
assessing their progress over the fifteen day reading camp. Links will be made between assessment and
intervention.
Module Three:
Implementing and Evaluation of and Intervention Program
The ACHOTE student will deliver an intervention program to a child during the summer reading program.
