ELE 5120. Elementary Reading and Written Language Strategies and Instruction (3 credits)
This course is designed to provide students with a comprehensive study of the theoretical and practical aspects of pedagogy as it applies to effective and scientific research-based methods of teaching reading. Teacher candidates will develop the knowledge and skills to use systematic, explicit, multisensory methods to teach communication skills, reading, and written expression. The course provides foundational information about reading and writing acquisition stages, factors that impact literacy development, and the nature of literacy difficulties. Emphasis includes phonological awareness, comprehension strategies, study skills, technology use in the inclusive elementary classroom, questioning, discussion skills, and integrating writing and literature across the curriculum. The course will give particular attention to understanding students’ varied cultural, linguistic, experiential, and literacy-based assets and the importance of recognizing multiple literacies. Students will also examine the role of culture and diversity as it informs teaching practices and learner behaviors. Field Experience Required.
