ENG 401 : Literature in the Early Childhood Classroom

Prerequisites: ENG 307

The course examines the way children’s literature–fiction, poetry, and nonfiction–offers young children the opportunity to gain information, become familiar with print, be entertained, and experience perspectives other than their own in the early childhood classroom. The course also gives students the chance to begin to develop their knowledge of a range of children’s literature that is an important part of being an English teacher in the early childhood classroom. Specific topics, reading lists, and course outlines will be published annually.
