ENG-200 Children's Literature: Pre-readers to Middle Grade
Students will learn how children's literature cultivates a love of books in young readers (kindergarten-middle school). Focusing on a variety of literature such as fables, poems, myths, fairy tales, picture books, and chapter books, students will read, research, interpret and write about literary and artistic elements of children's literature. The course is suited for students in AA Liberal Arts and Sciences, AA Childhood Education or the Teaching Assistant certificate programs who need to learn how to select quality, age appropriate texts to be used in children's classroom activities. It is also open to students who enjoy children's literature and wish to study it closely. This course carries SUNY General Education Humanities credit.
