Description:

This advanced course is designed to prepare early childhood professionals for teaching reading and writing in the early primary grades. The course focuses on reading as a complex, interactive, constructive process. Through a developmental approach, the course addresses: 1.) the integration of theory and research with the practice of teaching children to read and write, including children with special needs, 2.) the organization of effective reading and writing instructions, 3.) the sociocultural contexts in which children learn to read and write, 4.) culturally, linguistically and developmentally appropriate literacy curricula, and 5.) assessment and evaluation. This course builds upon indicators of competence established at the lower division (AA) level. For each course objective (core competency) students will demonstrate the indicators established for the bachelor's level. Prerequisite: ECME 315. Co-requisite: Teaching, Reading & Writing Practicum
