Emerging Literacy Methods for Elementary Teacher Preparation

Catalog description

This course builds key concepts and principles related to phonemic awareness and phonics, shaping an emerging understanding of the connection between language and the written code. Essential components of effective reading instruction will be explored using a Response to Intervention (RTI) model. Methods to support individual learning needs, including learners with dyslexia, will be examined. Learners will analyze critical elements of emerging skills to foster the use of appropriate strategies across developmental stages, content areas, technology, and varying contexts in learning to read as they complete 5-10 hours of embedded field experiences.
