Description

Designed to establish the foundations of early literacy development of children in Pre-K, Kindergarten, and First Grade, with respect to reading, writing, speaking and listening and is based on the premise that language development is the basis of all literacy learning. This course outlines a Balanced Literacy Framework that scaffolds instruction through teacher read aloud, shared, guided and independent reading and writing with time set aside for word study. An Explicit Instructional Model is used as the basis of all instruction. Students will demonstrate and apply their understanding of content knowledge, child development and researched-based practices as they develop and implement micro teaching lessons. They will further develop their teaching styles and build confidence through practice presenting these lessons. (New course Spring 2011.)
