Speech to Print: Language Essentials for Teachers

For elementary educators, Moats, a teacher, psychologist, consultant, and author, argues that language is the foundation for reading and literacy education and that teachers who understand language concepts are better able to teach students. She explains language concepts of orthography, morphology, phonetics, phonology, semantics, and syntax, and how to apply them in teaching literacy skills. This edition has more information on elements of language, new exercises, more samples of student writing, and expanded sample lesson plans.
