Participants will explore the domains of language processing and how it influences decoding, reading comprehension, and written expression. Participants will be able to identify brain structures that support language and ultimately reading. They will be able to identify the seven language domains to better inform their own instruction of reading and writing skills. This knowledge will then help educators identify students in all grades who require intervention. Participants will also explore methods and materials for assessment and data collection used for designing diagnostic instruction. Focus will center on the need to identify when to intervene, especially with preschool students.
