RDG 401 Methods of Teaching Language/Literacy
Students learn lesson and unit planning as required by teacher evaluation systems. Content, methods, materials, and demonstration of the integrated language areas of listening, speaking, reading, and writing are addressed. A major focus of this course is the pre-reading and pre-writing abilities of young children. The development of vocabulary, spelling, and handwriting will be included. All language/literacy areas will be related to the developmental stages, needs, interests, and background of the child. A virtual clinical experience from schools using "best practices" is required.
