ELED 265 - Children’s Literature for Early Childhood Educators Once a year
This course considers children’s literature for young children and its role in
both early literacy development and the early childhood classroom, including classrooms
with diverse, English language learners, and special needs children. The focus
is on the development of reflective practitioners who can respond critically to
research and political trends in literacy education that may engender good teaching.
The relationships between literature and children’s development as readers, writers,
and thinkers within a cultural context, including issues of social justice. Classroom
contexts, the use of technology, the role of play, and social interaction around
children’s literature are studied.
