Omission of a copula in permitted contexts, such as he running instead of he is running.

What does habitual "be" indicate in AAE?

A habitual or recurring action, such as he be eating.

Name two additional grammatical features of AAE.

Possible possessive-marker omission and double negatives.

Name three phonological features of AAE.

Final consonant-cluster simplification, final /l, r/ deletion, and weakening or omission of final stops.

What is standardized assessment bias?

What is ethnographic interviewing?

What assessment methods can supplement standardized tests for CLD children?
