EEU 320 - LITERATURE PREK-4 LEARNERS

Institution:

Kutztown University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Elementary Education: Pre-K 4

Description:

This course focuses on literature for PreK-4 students with emphasis on classroom applications. Literary theory, genre, form, and illustrations are considered in the context of lesson implementation. Approaches to evaluating the quality of literature, selecting literature for instruction, planning response experiences, and the development of specific teacher skills related to the use of literature in grades PreK-4 are included. Furthermore, PreK-4 educators must demonstrate disposition and commitment to equity for all students using children's literature. This requires that educators employ research-based rationale for the inclusion of authentic literature (first-person) that connects cultural backgrounds, learner's daily lives, and builds learners' knowledge, as well as possess instructional skills necessary to successfully utilize literature within language arts and content area instruction. Educators must be empowered to serve as strong models of lifelong learning and advocates of equity for all students through literacy.
