| Abstract: |
Millions of children worldwide have been learning to read online due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a potential change with enduring value beyond the pandemic era. Nevertheless, most teacher-education programs are still not formally attempting to develop pre-service teachers’ online-teaching skills. To address that absence, this study developed modules focused on teaching reading online for a pre-service course in which 25 third-year undergraduates were enrolled. The participants’ self-efficacy improved significantly through this training, combining role-modeling, collaboration, and exemplar materials. Although some challenges arose and doubts were expressed, the participants’ attitudes towards online training and teaching were generally positive.
