In this topic students will examine the causes of learning difficulties in reading, writing and spelling. Students will develop skills in administration and interpretation of literacy assessments, in planning a teaching program, and selecting appropriate resources. Consideration will be given to a range of instructional strategies that may support development of students' literacy knowledge, skills and understandings.

Through engaging in this topic participants will:

• be aware of current literacy research that informs curriculum development

• develop skills to carry out diagnostic assessments to determine literacy teaching and learning goals

On completing this topic students will be able to:

• demonstrate understanding of key skills and knowledge needed for development of literacy

• identify factors which may inhibit literacy development

• demonstrate understanding of a range of effective, empirically-valid instructional strategies

• identify appropriate technologies that support instructional planning and individualised instruction

• administer a range of curriculum-based assessments to monitor students' progress and to identify supports and adaptations required for individuals with diverse learning needs to access the curriculum

• plan an intervention program to meet the literacy learning needs of students with learning difficulties
