    Description
    This course prepares early childhood educators and others working with young children to recognize, understand, and support emergent language and literacy development. Developmentally appropriate language and literacy practices for young children (birth to age five) that build a strong foundation for learning to read and write in the primary grades will be covered. Topics include an overview of the educator's role in developing appropriate language and literacy experiences for young children, including ways to support children with delays/disabilities and children learning English as an additional language.
