LS 4170 - Literacy Instruction for Emergent Literacy Learners

This course focuses on developing teacher candidates’ knowledge, skills, and dispositions around the use of assessment tools for literacy instruction from PK-K. Teacher candidates will examine both formative and summative assessments that inform instruction while considering young children’s overall literacy development and literacy standards. By doing so, teacher candidates will understand that literacy instruction is an iterative cycle of assessment, teaching, and reflection.
