ECE 116 — Literature and Storytelling for Children ECE 116 2 Credits/Units
Introduction to the value of storytelling and the use of literature as tools in the development of children. Literature and storytelling has the ability to speak to our 'souls' and it is the intent of this class to reclaim for some and validate for others the value of literature as a tool with children and for ourselves. Through small and large group discussions as well as diverse experiences, co-learners will have an opportunity to develop an understanding of book selection, delivery styles, bibliotherapy, and community resources for acquiring literature and networking with professionals in the field of Early Childhood Education.
