*This module is taught and assessed simultaneously with module ISE1013 These modules focus on the development of literacy across the continuum. The components and foundations of literacy are explored, and a range of theoretical perspectives and models of the reading process are examined. Phases in the developmental progress of phonological skills, word recognition, spelling, reading fluency, and reading comprehension are examined. Students examine the nature and context of specific learning difficulties (SpLD), current conceptualisations of dyslexia and co-occurring and associated differences. Students also consider current evidence and developments in research, policy and instructional practice in the area of language and literacy, with particular reference to Ireland.
