Stages of Learning to Read Young children move through three stages as they learn to read and write: emergent, beginning, and fluent (Juel, 1991). • Emergent Stage: Young children gain an understanding of the communicative purpose of print, and they move from pretend reading to reading predictable books and from using scribbles to simulate writing to writing patterned sentences, such as I see a bird. I see a tree. I see a car. • Beginning Reading: Growing ability to use phonics to “crack the alphabetic code” in order to decode and spell words. Children also learn to read and write many high-frequency words and write several sentences to develop a story or other composition. • Fluent Stage: Children are automatic, fluent readers, and in writing, they develop good handwriting skills, spell many high-frequency words correctly, and organize their writing into multiple-paragraph compositions.
Assessing Readers at Different Stages • Emergent Readers • Concepts of print • Phonemic Awareness • Alphabet • Listening • Sound symbol relationships
Assessing Readers at Different Stages Beginning Readers and Beyond • Comprehension • Fluency • Phonemic Awareness • Phonics • Vocabulary
