Introduction to language structures, including spoken syllables, phonemes, graphemes, and morphemes is included in this course. Candidates apply knowledge of the core areas of language to reading acquisition in terms of first and second language learners, typical development and exceptionalities. Candidates are introduced to current scientific research. Candidates observe, participate, and teach in school classrooms one half day per week (ED 202F).
