Stages of childrens writing

As children begin to write, their marks
can be identified according to stages of
writing.
*Emerging Scribbling
*Pictorial
*Pre communicative
*Semi phonetic
*Phonetic
*Transitional
*Conventional writing
*Traditional

Emerging Scribbling
Young children believe they are writing
when they scribble and often "read"
what they have just scribbled. Children
often will move the pencil like adults,
making their scribbles from left to right.

Emerging scribbling is usually :

NONSENSICAL

SHAPING

NON-FOCUSED

Emergent Scribbling

Pictorial
Children draw and "read" their
drawings as a form of
communication.
They may draw an unrecognizable
form and say, "I played in the home
center today with my friends."
Or they may draw a tree like form
and say,
"This says remember to take me to
the
park.
Features of writing include :

Pre communicative
As children become more aware of the
alphabet, they often write the letters in
long strings, usually at random.
Features of writing include :
KNOWN WORDS
STRINGS OF LETTER-LIKE FORMS
SERIES OF RANDOM LETTERS

Pre Communicative

Semi-phonetic.
At the beginning of this stage,
children may write one letter to
represent one word.
Later, words are represented by two
letters, the initial and ending letter
sounds.
As the childs writing continues to
mature, most sounds are represented
in their invented spelling

Semi Phonetic

Phonetic
Using beginning and ending sounds .
Some frequently used words are spelled
correctly. Leave space between words.
Easier to read writing

Phonetic

Transitional
Writing words the way they
sound, representing most of the
syllables in words.
Adding silent e and doubling
letters
Space between words
Write more than one sentence

Conventional Writing
The child begins writing more
and more words are spelled
correctly. In this stage the
following features of writing
are noticed:
Phonics based spelling
Spell words already learnt
Using capital and
lowercase
letters,
periods and

Conventional Writing

Traditional
Advanced writing with a varied
body of written vocabulary.
May still use phonemic based
spellings for advanced words but
have mastered the spelling of
commonly used words.
