Marie Clay (1991) and Fountas and Pinnell
(2001) have noted five main stages of literacy
development.
Stage 1: Emergent Readers
• Ranges from 2 to 7 years old
• Begin to familiarize with the concepts of print to
• directionality,
• One-to-one correspondence between spoken and written
• Value of picture clues to the meaning of story
• Develop an understanding that printed word carries main
meaning of a story
• Begin to make text-to-world connections
Stage 2: Early Readers
• between ages of 5 to 7
• rely more heavily on the printed text than on the
pictures on a book
• begin to develop word recognition strategies
• begins to develop a data bank of sight words that allows
them to read with increased speed as they are read more
often
• a teacher may have a class containing both emergent
and early readers
Stage 3: Transitional Readers
• range from 5 to 7 years
• able to read in meaningful phrases with comfortable
pace and appropriate voice intonation
• able to enumerate the four cueing systems into their
reading with little disruption to meaning and flow
• able to read more lengthy texts with a little reliance on
pictures for text meaning
Stage 4: Self-Extending Readers
• range in age 6 to 9 years of age
• readers progress into reading independence in the fourth
developmental stage
• often read variety of textual genres and use reading as a
tool for gaining new knowledge
• able to read more complex texts and begin to read for a
variety of purposes
Stage 5: Advanced Readers
• these readers who have
attained a level of mastery
with reading; over the age
of 9
• become proficient in
reading and in
comprehending various
text sources
