ECED 515 - Emergent Literacy: Birth through Pre-K

Credit Hours: 3

This course serves as a foundation for graduate students that have an educational background that are wanting to pursue a deeper understanding of Early Childhood Education. This advanced course is designed to prepare early childhood professionals to study literacy development, specifically oral language, writing and reading. This course focuses on children from birth through Pre-K, including children with diverse abilities. Through a developmental approach, the course addresses: I) recent theory and research that translates into practical strategies, assessment materials, and preparation of literacy rich environments, 2) the socio-cultural contexts in which children develop literacy, 3) culturally, linguistically, and developmentally appropriate literacy curricula, 4) processes used to determine the appropriateness of various literacy strategies, 5) assessment, evaluation, and accountability, and 5) literacy leadership.
