The Missing Foundation in Teacher Education: Knowledge of the Structure of Spoken and Written Language.

Moats, Louisa Cook

Annals of Dyslexia, v44 p81-104 1994

Eighty-nine experienced teachers of reading, language arts, and special education were found to understand too little about language structure to be able to provide sufficient instruction. The teachers subsequently took a course focusing on phonemic awareness, spoken-written language relationships, and spelling and reading behavior, and judged this information essential for teaching.
