CHD 119 Introduction to Reading Methods
After completing this course I am much better prepared to teach children early language and literacy skills that are so important for children’s education. I learned skills that will help me to teach, select, and plan out appropriate reading activities to promote language development. I also learned how to assess children in their reading skills based on the standards set by the Virginia Foundation Blocks. My artifact for this course was an evaluation of online reading resources. I evaluated the various games on the website and say where I thought they were successful or unsuccessful and also list the various reading learning principle they were reinforcing. Teaching children to read at an early age is so important because reading plays such an important role in helping to make the student successful throughout their academic lives. In child development, the different development areas all relate and depend on each other and literacy is no different. Early literacy opens the door to children’s success in the future.
