EDEC 355 - Early Childhood Language and Literacy through Storytelling

4 Credit(s)
Students will understand the interrelated development of early language and early literacy in children from Birth to age Eight.  Highlighting familial and culturally diverse ways of sharing story, this class will help students develop a repertoire of strategies to support vocabulary development, narrative skills, phonological awareness, print knowledge, and early reading and writing through oral stories and children’s literature.  This course has a specific emphasis on strategies to support English Language Learners and addresses Indian Education for All.  Students will become critical consumers of high-quality children’s books to help children see themselves as storytellers and authors.  Experiences include written and oral storytelling projects, implementing interactive read a-louds, and other field-based activities with children through guided experiences.
