Theoretical Foundations in Early Literacy and Reading Recovery

Catalog description

Description: Introduction to underlying theories that contribute to early reading and writing. Critical understandings include the role of systematic observation of oral and written language and the relationship of oral language acquisition to early school literacy. A history of research in literacy processes that contribute to the foundations of Reading Recovery will be explored. (The course is the first course in the two-semester theory requirement for Reading Recovery teacher-leaders and trainers in training.)
