Welcome to ESE3102: Early Literacy for Children with Special Needs This course is designed to equip you with the knowledge, skills, and strategies needed to support literacy development in young learners with diverse needs. Together, we will explore foundational theories of literacy, evidence-based practices for teaching reading and writing, and the use of assistive technology to promote access and engagement.
By the end of the course, you will be able to:
design effective literacy instruction for children with disabilities,
apply strategies to build phonological awareness, reading comprehension, and writing skills,
use assessment tools to monitor literacy growth,
and develop individualized intervention plans.
You will also learn to collaborate with families, communities, and professionals to foster inclusive literacy environments.
Through interactive lectures, discussions, and hands-on projects, this course will prepare you to become a confident, reflective educator who can make a meaningful difference in the literacy journeys of children with special needs.
