Description
This course explores the foundational knowledge about reading and
writing processes, instructional practices, and curriculum materials
needed by literacy specialists to support the creation of effective
literacy environments that support all readers and writers. The
course explores theoretical principles and practices based on
current research with an emphasis on early literacy acquisition. The
role of language and cognitive development in learning to read forms
the foundation for study. Emergent and early instructional
approaches provide a theory to practice experience. The concepts

evaluator, manager, communicator and researcher. (3 s.h.)
