EDUT 5267 Literacy Skills - Elementary Class
Supporting Literacy Skills in the Elementary Classroom
Teaching mathematics in the elementary classroom is different today than in the past. New expectations for students and new understandings about how they learn have led to changes in instructional practices. Today, we know math must be developmentally appropriate and accessible for young students, and the process of learning math content relies on their literacy, problem- solving, and critical thinking skills. In this course, you’ll explore strategies for integrating the literacy skills of speaking, listening, reading, and writing into your math instruction for a deeper comprehension and application of mathematical concepts. You’ll also learn techniques for using literacy to support English Language Learners and students who struggle with mathematics. You will leave the course feeling confident and ready to apply your new knowledge!
