This course surveys theories and practices applied to early literacy development. Teacher candidates examine and apply research-based approaches used in fostering the development of oral language and vocabulary, phonemic and phonological awareness, concepts of print, and comprehension. The role of emergent language and literacy learning in reading, writing, listening, speaking, and thinking are explored while addressing the social, emotional, physical, and creative development of young children (birth to age 5). Teacher candidates develop instructional strategies and related activities to foster a balanced, differentiated, positive, and constructive approach towards literacy learning for all young children. In addition to class meetings, field experience in an age 3 to kindergarten educational setting is required. This course satisfies Florida Reading Endorsement (2011) Competency Two (Application of Research-Based Instructional Practices).
