Teaching Morphology Developmentally Revised

Description

You'll have the tools to evaluate morphology, develop an instructional program, and teach bound and irregular morphemes. The manual outlines the basic tenets of morphology and describes methods of:

• evaluating bound morphology (i.e. morphemes that must be joined to a stand-alone morpheme to convey meaning-walked)
• using linguistic rules to teach morphology in the appropriate developmental sequence.

Use these materials effectively with your-

• Normally developing preschool and school-age children
• Children in special education programs
• Children who have language delays or disorders
• Children and adults who have hearing impairments
• Adults with specific morphologic language deficiencies
• Students in ESL programs

• Present progressives: -ing
• Plurals: /z/, /s/, /ez/, /vez/, and irregular forms
• Possessives: /z/, /s/, and /ez/ forms
• Past tenses: /d/, /t/, /ed/, and irregular forms
• Third-person singulars: /z/, /s/, and /ez/ forms
• Derived adjectives: -er, -est, and irregular forms
