EDUC 256 - Early Literacy II: Development And Implementation

Institution:

Santa Fe Community College

Subject:

Description:

In this course students explore the five principles which current research suggests enhance the development and implementation of emergent literacy practices with young children: 1. emerging literacy including direct instruction is embedded in a social/cultural context; 2. experiential learning environments allow young children to practice, elaborate and extend emergent literacy; 3. children require frequent experiences in listening and sharing stories to demonstrate the facilitating power of language; 4. children require frequent book readings both as active listeners and independent readers; and 5. both the modification of environments and inclusion of family participation have an important impact on the early literacy behavior of children from birth through eight years of age. These principles are the basis for discussion and activities supporting effective strategies. This course requires 10 hours of fieldwork in a early childhood classroom approved by the faculty. Permission required. Offered: Summer, Fall and Spring
