Reading 1: Stages of Literacy Development
Reading Readiness/Pre-Reading (Birth -- age 6)
Initial Reading (Age 6-7, Grades 1-2)
Fluency (Age 7-8, Grades 2-3)
Reading to Learn (Age 9-13, Grades 4-8)
Reading Readiness/Pre-Reading (Birth -- age 6)
_Children should get exposed to reading and writing, and see that it is a form of communication that interests them. They should also attempt to mimic reading and writing on some level.
Initial Reading (Age 6-7, Grades 1-2)
_At this age children begin to read on their own and learn simple monosyllable words that rhyme. They learn typical spelling rules and begin to develop phonemic awareness.
Fluency (Age 7-8, Grades 2-3)
__At this stage children can recognize sounds that occur at the end, beginning and in the middle of words, and build up their vocabularies sufficiently.
Reading to Learn (Age 9-13, Grades 4-8)
Children progress into reading whole books on their own and develop an affinity for subjects. They also learn to think for themselves and may challenge authority.
Reading-Writing Connection
_The reading-writing connection is integral to the development of the child in both of these fields. The more experience children have in one, the more they will have in the other.
Chapter 3 (p. 76-93) Home Literacy Experiences
Access to print and books
Adult demonstrations of literacy behavior
Supportive adults
Independent engagements with literacy (Storybook reading)
Family Focus: Parent Workshops
__At home, it is important to have books available and to surround children with print so they get accustomed to it, as well as expose them to adults engaging with reading and the written word. Adults can support literacy at home by reading to children while independent engagements with literacy enables children to pretend to read pages and to make up their own stories about books.
