This course focuses on major historical developments of teaching literacy, to include current research on sciences of reading, and implications on curriculum and instruction for early and emergent learners in grades PK-2. Students will learn how to observe, assess, and evaluate behaviors and skills; create literacy learning plans that harness cultural and linguistic funds of knowledge; and intensify instruction through small group and individualized teaching.
