Description
This course presents literacy (reading, writing, listening, and speaking) development and instruction within a whole language philosophy. The interaction between the nature of the reader, the nature of the material read, and the instructional methodology is examined. This includes teaching literacy to children who may be learning English as a second language and who may be learning- disabled. The value of multicultural children's literature in relation to literacy instruction is also emphasized. Thirty hours of field work are required.
