Language and Literacy Curriculum

Please share your resources related to courses in Language and Literacy here.

Hi! Is this useful? It's my "class flow" for the language/literacy curriculum class. It has all of the readings and is most updated. If you look at the very end there are "optional" Readings, too, which may be useful if people want to delve deeper.

These are ZTC, not OER.

There is also the document that I pulled from to make this class flow. However, it's kind of a mess because links have broken, things have gone away, etc... So I have really only been maintaining the class flow (above).

 Laura,

I decided to teach the Children's Literature (birth-age 8) class due to some concerns I had and began reading the selected textbook which is for elementary ed.  The first chapter highlights the Charlottes Web, Harry Potter, and other chapter books. There is no focus or mention at all for literacy for birth through age 5.  The class begins on Sept. 17.  The students have already purchased the books, but I would like to use many of your resources and like the class flow that you have.

May I use your class flow and resources with edits as supplements in a class I'm teaching?

And thank you to everyone in this group!  As I kept reading the textbook knowing I needed supplemental materials, the first place I thought to look tonight was this group!

Hi! I really like her course, however, I cannot access it through my college canvas log in and I cannot find it in Commons. Do you happen to have the Course files I can import?? 

[Jennifer Paris]

Hi, Kim.

When I searched using MiraCosta College, I was able to find it on Canvas Commons. Hope that helps!

Jennifer

[Kim M]

This is great! I am going to use it for my CD 19 class this Fall 2020. Would love to know of any updates you've made to this or even to see the Online course if you have it!

Here is a new book on early literacy by several faculty from the Virginia Community College System (unrelated to the seven books authored by COC). It is licensed CC BY-NC-SA.

Book Dash has a collection of children's books with a CC BY 4.0 license. There are blank versions of the book (so students could make their own digital children’s books).

[Kim M]

Thanks for this. I tried the Book Dash site but it wouldn't open. I tried several ways/browsers, etc. and nothing worked. I really hope this site is still up and running.

[Paris, Jennifer]

That is so strange. The Book Dash link below works for me. If you Google Book Dash, you should be able to find it as well. The URL for the homepage of their website is: bookdash.org

"The Inside, Outside, and Upside Downs of Children's Literature: From P" by Jenifer Jasinski Schneider (usf.edu)

Description

Children’s literature is written for children and youth, but the analysis of children’s literature requires careful attention to text as well insightful interpretation of the ways in which authors and illustrators present the human condition, the physical world, imaginative experiences, and global forces. Children's literature is also a $4-billion-a-year industry that impacts social practices, politics, financial markets, schools, literacy rates, history, and art. Whatever the reason for your interest, children’s literature is a big deal.
