This minor provides pre-service teachers with opportunities to extend their literacy knowledge and understandings of how children learn language and classroom literacies. The emphasis will be on providing appropriate instruction to students from linguistically and culturally diverse backgrounds and providing targeted intervention for students with a wide range of learning difficulties and mild disabilities. The minor will examine appropriate diagnostic approaches and tools in order to plan effectively to support students at risk of failing to meet grade-level standards. Students will develop an appreciation of the characteristic features and educational issues associated with literacy learning difficulties and other related disabilities and the ways that these are manifested in each of the language modes.
