ECEA 541 - Literacy Development

3 Credit Hours


In this course, candidates focus on the developmentally appropriate instructional methods and materials for teaching literacy in diverse and inclusive early childhood settings. Recent research, philosophical and theoretical views, and issues related to emergent literacy and English language acquisition ground the course: phonemic awareness, morphological awareness, vocabulary development and acquisition, word knowledge and acquisition, reading fluency and comprehension, syntax and semantics, and the products, processes and stages of writing. Candidates examine procedures for planning, organizing and interpreting various methodologies for literacy development and literacy-based environments for all young children in the pre- primary and primary early childhood classrooms. Additionally, the selection of quality children’s literature and the implementation and curricular modifications for exceptional children are also covered.
