Over the two-course sequence in literacy, students in the elementary major develop a foundational knowledge of core aspects of literacy learning and instruction and apply this knowledge in practica settings, working at individual, small group, and whole-class levels. Literacy 1 focuses primarily on the structure and components of equitable and robust reading instruction in K-5 classrooms, the five pillars of the reading process (phonics, phonemic awareness, fluency, vocabulary, and comprehension), and the analysis and implementation of evidence-based reading instruction practices, with some connections to writing development and assessment and writing instruction.
