ED 228 Children's Literature
Students read, listen to, and evaluate a wide variety of fiction and nonfiction literature written for or enjoyed by children. Emphasis is placed on selecting high-quality, developmentally appropriate literature that fosters students’ enjoyment of reading, strengthens literacy skills and comprehension, and deepens conceptual understanding across disciplines and broader life experiences. Techniques for using literature to develop reading skills and to integrate it into content-area instruction are introduced. Course content and outcomes align with the International Literacy Association (ILA) standards and the Montana Reading Specialist K–12 standards (ARM 10.58.521).
