Session Summary

Mapping Morphology and Its Multidimensionality, Assessment, Relations to Outcomes, and Relation to Covariates

Sun, April 11, 4:10 to 5:40pm EDT (4:10 to 5:40pm EDT), Division C, Division C - Section 1a: Literacy Paper and Symposium Sessions

Session Type: Symposium

Abstract

This session deepens understanding of morphological knowledge. The first presentations explore multidimensionality and assessment with one focusing on elementary students and the second middle schoolers. Next, we consider supports to language and literacy outcomes. Here, our third presentation explores links to writing and our fourth uses meta-analysis to study relations with different outcomes from phonological awareness to comprehension and potential moderators. Lastly, we unravel the supports of morphology from other constructs, particularly syntax, with our fifth presentation exploring the contributions of morphology, syntax, and narrative skills on reading comprehension in English and French and our sixth presentation exploring the correlational piece (strength of correlations between semantics, morphology, and word rec). Together, understandings have implications for theory, research, instruction, and assessment.
