Description

Presents the theoretical base for how children acquire literacy and develop skills in reading, writing, speaking, and listening, as processes for constructing meaning. A primary focus of the course is to present instructional planning and teaching strategies best designed to accomplish this goal. A second emphasis is an exploration and appreciation of varying genres of children?s literature. The two strands of the course are interwoven as students apply their growing knowledge of methodology to the use of literature in the development of instructional units. (Formerly EDUCU-210.)
