Participants will
develop an understanding of how the sound, structure, and history of our
language all work together to influence the pronunciation, spelling, and
meaning of words. Participants will understand that English is built on
Anglo-Saxon, Latin, and Greek and examine how components of these layers can be
expanded to create new words. Assessment strategies will be examined and model
lessons will be analyzed to connect theory to classroom practice.
Appropriate grade level(s): 3-6 general and special education and 7-12 special education
