explored, students in the Intermediate Reading course will
examine methods used to support reading to learn and
enjoy by developing a comprehensive understanding of
methods for scaffolding the development of metacognitive
strategies that support reading comprehension across the
curriculum. Students will examine the research that
underlies a strategic reading program; discover how to
organize the classroom for effective scheduling, student
grouping, behavior management, and optimal reading
structure; learn effective assessment techniques; discover
methods and resources for matching readers and books; and

readers. Prerequisites: READ204,
