English Literacy and Language Arts Grades 4 - 5

Since the 1980s, differing theoretical perspectives on teaching reading have been proposed. In addition to the readings, research a minimum of three articles from the GCU Library that you can use to support your analysis. In an essay of 750-1,000 words, analyze and state the major themes, issues, and influences derived from these perspectives. 1. Relate these perspectives to their impact on classroom instruction. 2. Provide specific, supportive evidence for each theme or issue from the readings and from your own experience.
