LYST 218 - Reading and Writing Practices in Early Childhood and Childhood


Semester Hours: 3
Fall, Spring, Summer
This course investigates reading and writing practices in the early and childhood years. The focus is on developing teaching strategies and learning experiences for engaging children in reading and writing a wide variety of meaningful texts, including media and technology across the curriculum. Students explore the connections among oral language, reading, writing, and children’s literature in a theoretically grounded literacy framework. Teaching strategies and learning practices focus on recognizing learners’ linguistic understandings and reading and writing strategies, and developing opportunities for all readers to interrogate their world, explore their questions, and use language to act upon their learning. A ten hour field experience is required.
