3 Clock Hours of Early Childhood Education
Course Description:
Literacy development begins well before formal schooling. It actually begins at birth as children begin to communicate through nonverbal gestures, learn and use language, are exposed to print around the world, and build understanding of self and others. Early experiences that children have create long-lasting effects and influence children's future as literacy learners. This course will discuss the importance of early literacy with children of all ages along with activities to foster literacy from infants to school-age children.
