CHLD-300 - LANGUAGE & READING INSTRUCTION IN EARLY CHILDHOOD   4 credits
This course focuses on literacy, creativity, linguistics, and developmental reading approaches for children from preschool through early elementary school, stresses the interrelatedness of the language arts (reading, writing, listening, speaking), and provides opportunities for students to develop ways of working with young children that emphasize creative expression and critical thinking in communication. Teaching strategies and learning materials that include print-rich environments and emphasize the child as a reader during the emergent, initial, and established stages of reading development will be explored, designed and implemented. Students will develop skills in the areas of planning and presenting lessons, individualizing and sequencing curriculum and instruction, and using appropriate methods, media, and materials. PREREQUISITES: CHLD-110, CHLD-200, ENGL-200.
