EDFI 530 Emerging Literacy: Learning to Read

This course is designed to pull together knowledge of developmentally appropriate practice into cohesive literacy programs designed for young children (age 3-8). Topics include introducing literacy to play environments, creating literate primary environments, building thematic units, reading and writing across the curriculum, expository text structures (techniques for non-fiction), accommodating for individual differences and integrating children's literature across the early childhood and primary curriculum. Questioning strategies and study skills appropriate to the age range will also be covered.
