In ECI 543, Diagnosis of Reading Disabilities and ECI 544,
Remediation of Reading Disabilities, I learned how to assess a child's reading
ability. By giving specific assessments,
I am able to pinpoint their reading levels and strengths/weaknesses then
provide individualized instruction to meet their needs. I was given opportunities to try these
assessments on children throughout the course of the year. Having taken these classes enables me to feel
confident in interpreting a struggling reader's needs and be able to give them
intense individualized instruction to raise their reading ability.
