1. The stages of literacy development include emegent literacy, early literacy, fluency, written composition, and oral expression.

In emergent literacy this is where the child first start learning about reading and writing by being around books, seeing words,
and hearing language when they're very young. Early literacy happens in preschool and early school grades, where children
start learning more formally about reading and writing, like letters and simple words. Fluency means reading smoothly or
straightly and with feeling, which gets better as children attend elementary school. Written composition improve during late
elementary and early high school as kids get better at putting their thoughts into words and using correct grammar. And lastly,
oral expression improve as kids learn to speak and listen effectively. These steps are connected and help kids become good at
reading, writing, and communicating for their whole lives.

2. Students with disabilities can face tough challenges as they learn to read and write. During emergent literacy, some children
with disabilities might have trouble understanding what is being spoken or connecting it to written words. Others might find it
hard to handle books or write problems because of the problems with their hands. In early literacy, some might struggle with
understanding sounds and letters because of dyslexia, while others might find it hard to write properly because of dysgraphia.
Fluency can also bring challenges to those students with reading disabilities, this can impact their ability to read and
comprehend text, and those with ASD or ADHD might find it hard to understand what they read because they get distracted
easily. In written composition, those students with expressive language disorders can make it hard for them to organize their
thoughts and structure their writing. Talking might be hard for students who have trouble with speech or social
communication. This can make it difficult for them to speak clearly, understand what others say, and join in conversations.
Giving personalized help, like using special tools and making plans that fit each student, is really important to help students
with disabilities overcome these challenges and get better at reading and writing.

3. Sure, it's really important for teachers to understand the challenges that students with disabilities have when learning to read
and write. Knowing about these challenges helps teachers see that each student is different and needs different kinds of help.
Teachers can use this knowledge to find ways to help each student learn better, like using special tools or giving extra help
when needed. Understanding these challenges also helps teachers create classrooms where everyone feels included and
supported. It also helps teachers be more caring and understanding. Overall, knowing about these challenges helps teachers
make sure that all students get the help they need to learn well.
