Course Description:
The “reading wars” between the phonics and whole language approaches, which earlier divided educators in the primary grades, are now being fought on the preschool playground. Yet there is common ground where all well-intentioned teachers can start young children on the path toward literacy.
In other words, learning to read is like mastering any other skill; young children do it because they want to make sense of their world, and they learn best by using real materials in real situations. Children acquire much of this learning through teacher-provided information, but children also develop knowledge and skills on their own during play as well as through their interactions with peers.
