Syllables, syllabication rules, spelling rules and generalizations are reviewed as the bridge from phonology to higher level language skills. The morphological layer of English (prefixes, roots, and suffixes) and a sequence of morpheme instruction are introduced. This course is designed for practitioners who have completed the Associate coursework and are ready to work with older students. It is a prerequisite to Certified – Therapy Level.
