This course provides a survey of the stages of literacy development, from emergence to fluency, and reviews the conditions that promote total literacy for children pre-kindergarten through third grade. Language theories, current reading research, assessment, and remediation and intervention strategies indicated through diagnostic evaluation are integrated to shape informed practices regarding literacy development. Connections are made among all aspects of literacy learning (i.e., reading, writing, listening, speaking, and thinking). In addition to class meetings, field studies in a kindergarten to grade 3 educational setting are required. This course satisfies Florida Reading Endorsement (2011) Competency Three: Foundations of Assessment.
