LS 6800 - Early Literacy Learning

Focused on literacy acquisition, this course explores how the young learner creates a network of competencies which generate subsequent independent literacy learning. Explanations of change over time in a child’s control of literacy learning from school entry until the independence at the third year of schooling are emphasized. This cognitive view of literacy processes in a developmental perspective will explore different programmatic emphases which enable the young reader to extend the range and effectiveness of strategic reading.
