LYST 214 - Language and Literacy in Early Childhood and Childhood
Fall, Spring, Summer
This course investigates issues in language and literacy for children from birth
to grade six. Readings and discussions of the language processes (listening, speaking,
reading, and writing) are grounded in theoretical perspectives in the areas of
psychosociolinguistics, social/cultural literacies, the transactional nature of
literature, and critical literacy. Language development is studied in readings
and field experiences with an emphasis on the role of language and culture in
learning to read and write. Students are expected to develop their own theories
of how children learn to read and write in schools and communities. A ten hour
field experience is required.
