READ 540 - Early Childhood Literacy Instruction(3 credits)
Intended as a content area graduate course in reading for the early childhood educator, this course features many instructional practices that promote language, literacy and learning in the young learner. In a review of current research, teachers learn and apply identified “best practices” in listening, speaking, reading, writing and thinking. Topics include linguistics, discourse, concepts of print, phonemic awareness, phonics, comprehension, authentic assessment, shared reading and writing, and guided reading and writing. Through an understanding of theories that support best practices, teachers develop specific strategies for observing and supporting young learners as they become successful, independent, and thoughtful readers and writers. Offered spring, fall, and summer II.
