Phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics are important components of the study of language known as linguistics. Teachers must understand the linguistic demands placed on young students as they learn to read and write. Early childhood educators must be able to identify typical and atypical linguistic development and be equipped to support all learners in the inclusive early childhood classroom.
Define and provide examples of phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics and explain how each of these linguistic components applies to literacy development.
Explain why it is important to understand these components of linguistics in supporting students with exceptionalities.
Describe 2-3 developmentally appropriate research-based instructional strategies to support the language and literacy development of early childhood students who struggle with linguistic components.
Include a brief outline of your presentation.
Support with a minimum of three scholarly resources.
