ELED 133 - Integrated Teaching of Reading, Writing and Children’s Literature (Birth-Grade 6)Semester Hours: 6
Fall
Introduction to the comprehensive, integrated language arts model of instruction. Course addresses development of the beginnings of literacy and presents each of the stages of its conceptual development in relationship to reading, writing, listening and speaking. Students will acquire an understanding of essential teaching practices that support literacy learning. Related instructional strategies and observational techniques will be explored, as students become familiar with literacy development and instruction through their field observations and teaching experiences. Strategies for teaching guided reading and writing, building comprehension, and extending word knowledge will be presented. The use of both informal and formal assessment techniques will be studied, modeled, and practiced. Materials appropriate for establishing a literate classroom will be examined; criteria for selection of materials will be established. Students will read a wide variety of children’s literature from preschool through chapter books including those related to content areas. Strategic teaching techniques such as response logs and literature circles will be explored. The writing process, spelling instruction in context and other teaching strategies to promote the development of writing competency will be modeled and discussed. Students will have many opportunities to respond to literature as they delve into different authors, genres, and thematic instruction in class and independently.
