By the end of this module, you should have an enhanced knowledge, understanding and awareness of theoretical models of the processes underlying printed word recognition and production in skilled readers and spellers, and the ways in which these processes might develop in children. You will develop the ability to understand and critically evaluate the proposed causes and explanations of specific learning difficulties (dyslexia) and the implications of these for practice with children. You will gain an enhanced knowledge and understanding of research based theoretical perspectives and have the ability to apply this knowledge to an analytical understanding of the processes used by children struggling with reading and spelling. Over the course of the module you will develop skills of self-reflection in applying new knowledge and understanding to practice.
The module delivery will be through 鈥榖lended鈥� learning: a combination of face-to-face taught sessions and online asynchronous and synchronous sessions.
