LYST 221 - Literature for Adolescents and Young Adults


Semester Hours: 3
Fall, Spring, Summer
This course is designed to help teachers combine a knowledge of a reader’s interests, as well as awareness of the reader’s strengths and needs, with a transactive, socio-psycholinguistic understanding of the reading process, in order to pair readers with books that will foster successful, engaging, and willing reading practice, as well as lifelong literacy. Course explores pre-reading, during-reading, and post-reading strategies that generate, sustain, and extend readers’ interest and understanding. Students will read from a wide variety of traditional texts, as well as popular alternatives to print media, including e-books, interactive texts, and digital media. Students will also create and participate in digital reader response activities, such as social networking and blogging.

Prerequisite(s)/Course Notes:
This course is recommended for students interested in working with readers from fifth grade to young adult.
