School Age Language

The main thing we talked about this week was the development of school age language.
These were the 6 things in Morphology and Syntax Development in School Age children!
 1. Inflectional prefixes ( un- and dis-)
2. Derivational suffixes :  word endings that
change the meaning of the words ( -ly)
3. Reflexives:  ( myself / himself)
4. Verb Tense:  ( have, be, has, had)
5. Continue to develop  advance sentence types
6. Development can be observed in their
writing

We also learned that the 2 main predictors for reading success are Language skills, Phonological ability.
This bit of learning seemed to really stick in my mind because of the practicality of it. I thought that the part of the lesson on how to monitor students was the most important. It said that if you need to see how a child interacts with language you should also look at their social interaction as well.
