EDUC 237 - Children’s Literature
A survey of fiction and nonfiction literature appropriate for the PK-8 grade level. Students learn to use children’s literature to model the reading and writing process across the various genres, and they learn about the forms that literature may take (e.g. technology based, media based, print and non-print). The importance of matching children’s proficiencies and interests with the selection of reading materials is emphasized as well as the selection of literature that reflects many cultures and viewpoints. Includes oral interpretation of the written word. Students learn about incorporating children’s literature into many subject area lessons (e.g. math, science, social studies, etc.). A field placement allows candidates to practice matching books to children and sharing in the reading process.
