Model Course Syllabus: Evidence-Based Literacy Instruction

This course syllabus for college and university professors covers the core components of structured literacy and supports evidence-based literacy instruction for undergraduate and graduate teacher candidates.

Prepared by Dr. Stephanie Stollar, a nationally-recognized literacy expert and the founder of The Reading Science Academy, this syllabus is carefully structured and sequenced to serve as the foundation of a standard three-credit, full-semester course. We have provided links to authoritative, up-to-date readings and videos that will significantly bolster the development of pre-service teachers.

We invite you to copy and use some or all of this syllabus in your own course.

Reading Universe is made possible by generous support from Jim & Donna Barksdale; the Hastings/Quillin Fund, an advised fund of the Silicon Valley Community Foundation (opens in new window); the AFT (opens in new window); the Emily Hall Tremaine Foundation (opens in new window); and several anonymous donors.
