Completing this course will help teachers to:
- reflect and implement evidence based reading practices, with an understanding of the necessary components of effective instruction
- plan, assess and differentiate effective instruction to support the development of vocabulary, within a reading program
- explore practical aspects of explicit teaching of vocabulary in the classroom
