Developmental Stages of Reading Quiz & Flashcards

At what approximate age and grade does Stage 0 of reading development typically occur?

Which stage involves the reader realizing that words have meaning and trying to learn from the text?

At what age does the reader begin to learn things that either validate or negate what was learned in Stage 3?

During which stage does the reader read to integrate knowledge with others and create new knowledge?

Which stage involves the child demonstrating a desire to learn the language of their environment?

In which stage does the child realize that different letters correspond to different symbols?

Stage 4 of reading development is called 'Confirmation and fluency.'

In Stage 2, the child puts into practice the skills learned in Stage 1.

Stage 3 of reading development typically occurs around 7 to 8 years old.

Stage 5 of reading development involves reading to integrate knowledge with others.

Pre-reading stage occurs between 6 months to 6 years old.

Stage 1 of reading development is known as 'Initial reading and decoding.'

Stages of Reading Development

Stage 0: Pre-reading "I want" is the earliest stage, occurring from 6 months to 6 years old, where the child demonstrates a desire to learn the language of their environment.

Stage 1: Initial Reading and Decoding "I Start"

Occurs from 6 to 7 years old, typically in 1st grade and beginning 2nd grade.
The child begins to learn how to read and realizes that different letters correspond to different symbols.

Stage 2: Confirmation and Fluency "I Improve"

Takes place from 7 to 8 years old, typically in 2nd and 3rd grade.
The child puts into practice whatever skills were learned in Stage 1.

Stage 3: Reading for Learning the New "I Acquire"

Occurs from 9 to 14 years old, typically in 4th to 9th grade, divided into two phases:
- Phase A: 4th to 6th grade (Intermediate)
- Phase B: 7th to 9th grade (JHS)
The reader realizes that words mean something and tries to learn something from the texts.

Stage 4: Multiple Viewpoint "I Explore"

Takes place from 15 to 17 years old, typically in 10th to 12th grade.
The reader begins to learn things that would either validate or negate whatever they learned in Stage 3.

Stage 5: Construction and Reconstruction "I Decide"

Occurs at 18+ years old, typically in college and beyond.
The reader reads to integrate their knowledge with that of others, to synthesize, and to create new knowledge.

Explore the different stages of reading development from pre-reading to confirmation and fluency. Understand the approximate age/grade at which each stage occurs and the behaviors associated with each stage.
