Wilmington University

Subject:

Reading Education

Description:

The relationship of early language development, growth and development of the brain, processing skills and early aesthetic and kinesthetic experiences to developing literacy (reading and writing) is studied. Social and cultural language differences, language acquisition, metacognition, critical periods of brain development, cognitive theory and experiences which contribute to, and are indicators of, readiness for reading will be emphasized. The relationship of early literacy experiences to stages of development of receptive and expressive language is linked to instruction.
