Exercise

Discuss the 5 stages of reading development.

Stage 1- The emergent pre-reader

Children typically between 6 months to 6 years old and it is the initial phase of
the reading development process where children learn from a full range of
multiple sounds, words, concepts, images, stories from the people talking
around them. The exposure to print, literacy materials, and just plain talk during
the first five years of life. It is the stage where children are curious about the
things around them of what they have heard and seen.

Stage 2- The novice reader

Children typically age between 6 to 7 years old where in the second phase of
the reading development process, children are learning the relationships
between letters and sounds and amongst printed and spoken words. They
begin to read stories with high-frequency words and phonically regular words
and use emerging skills and insights to “sound out” new one-syllable words.
Stage 3- The decoding reader
Children typically age between 7 to 9 years old where in the third phase of the
reading development process, children are beginning to read familiar stories
and text with increasing fluency. This is accomplished by consolidating the
foundational decoding elements, sight vocabulary, and meaning in the reading
of stories and selections that the child is already familiar with. It is the stage
where the readers are basically understood what he/she reads from prior
knowledge and understanding based on what he/she have known. It is the
familiarity stage.
Stage 4- The fluent comprehending reader
Children typically age between 9 to 15 years old where the fourth phase of the
reading development process, children reading is used to acquire new ideas to
gain new knowledge, to experience new feelings, to acquire new attitudes, and
to explore issues from multiple perspectives. Reading includes the study of
textbooks, reference works, trade books, newspapers, and magazines that
contain new ideas and values, new vocabulary and syntax. It is the stage where
the reader absorbs the thought and learns new ideas from what he/she reads.
Stage 5- The expert reader
Children typically age from 16 year and in the fifth phase of the reading development
process, the learner is reading from a wide range of advanced materials, both
expository and narrative, with multiple viewpoints. Learners are reading broadly
across the disciplines, including the physical, biological and social sciences as
well as the humanities, politics and current affairs. It is the stages where the
readers are fully grown and understand what he/she reads. The comprehension
of the reader is more widely and advanced

simultaneously
Reflection

Why is literacy important in a child's development?

Literacy is important in a child's development because learning words or

language is a basic foundation of a child to communicate with others. Literacy
makes a child be literate. It is the stepping stone of a child to engage with the
written word in everyday life. It is essential for human beings to be literate so that
from the beginning children will be able to interact with others by means of
communication. They can communicate if they are literate that’s why literacy is
most important in every child’s life. It is their key and investment to have a better
future and will be full grown with profession. Through literacy children will
develop their skills to perform better in school and in society to have a good
image.
