Foundations in Early Literacy

Catalog description

This course is designed to address the literacy needs of young children from birth to early elementary. The course examines the various emergent literacy skills needed for children to learn to read and the pedagogies that explicate such learning. This course allows graduate students to teach children to read and/or work with students who struggle with learning to read and those who are missing the foundational early literacy skills, such as oral language development, phonological and phonemic awareness, and phonics.
