ABSTRACT

A note from Ken Goodman: Wen-Yun Lin, an experienced teacher educator and curriculum developer, notes that teachers in Taiwan do not have a course specifically in teaching reading in their teacher education programs. That is not uncommon in teacher education programs around the world. So she organizes a graduate course for teachers in the reading process built around the use of miscue analysis. With insights from in-depth miscue analysis, these teachers learn to develop a curriculum that relates specifically to the reading strengths of their students. The course illustrates how such a reading course can help teachers understand how readers make sense of print. And it can help them to have a better means of assessing the strengths and needs of their students.
