EE 310

A course on the pedagogy of language and reading instruction in grades 3-6. It includes multiple approaches to teaching the reading skills of upper elementary students with strategies that consider the Common Core State Standards and the NC Standard Course of Study for English Language Arts. Integration of more advanced language skills (listening, speaking, writing, and handwriting) are also examined, along with sections on assessment, instructional strategies, and organizing classrooms that promote and emphasize literacy. Students will engage in observations, demonstrations, peer teaching, evaluation of curricular materials, and instruction in local schools. This is the second of two elementary literacy courses. Requires a “C” to advance.
