EDUC520 Reading, Language Arts, and Children’s Literature Methods: K-8 (4 cr.)

Prerequisite(s): EDUC515
Students participate in constructivist learning experiences to master the knowledge, dispositions, and skills needed to teach literacy from kindergarten through middle school, with a focus on phonological awareness, phonics, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension. National, state, and Common Core standards and curriculum guides are used to develop appropriate teaching plans for primary, intermediate, and middle school students. Students master lesson planning and performance assessments using the literacy content standards. Field experiences augment classroom readings, discussion, and activities of developmental stages of listening, speaking, reading, and writing in children.
