Foundations of Literacy Development and Instruction

Starting with the fall 2009 term, this course will be renumbered as EDU 6086.

This course introduces fundamental theoretical and practical instructional principles of developing reading, writing, and language arts, grounded in research on cognitive development and language acquisition, and informed by political and socio-cultural perspectives. An integrated language model suggests that reading, writing, and thinking be viewed as interrelated, critical processes for exploring and responding to the world. Students will acquire foundational knowledge of materials, instructional strategies and assessment tools that support developing literacy and engage learners.
