Overview
Teaching Literacy - Understanding Readers and Reading at The University of Exeter is designed for teachers of reading and other professionals who work with children and young people to improve their reading skills. It would also be suitable for anyone with a critical interest in the role of children’s literature within education. Whatever your professional background, the course will help you develop highly valued transferable skills, including critical evaluation, independent study, presentation and debating skills.
What will I learn?
As a student on this short course, you will develop a strong theoretical understanding of reading and teaching reading and address questions such as ‘what is the difference between reading and comprehension?’, ‘what do we know about reading comprehension and different levels of understanding?’ and ‘what is the relationship between text and image in picture books?’. From this, you will be able to develop your own professional practices.
You will finish the course feeling better equipped to teach reading in a way that prioritises comprehension and gives young readers successful reading strategies. The course will also allow you to explore and analyse children’s literature through from picture books to teen and crossover fiction.
