Characteristics of an
Emergent Writer
Learner’s emergent writing is
characterized by playful
markings to communicate
something, which signals
their knowledge of the uses
of written language before
learning the form.
-Gundlach(1985)
Writing
▪Self-initiated and self-directed or
voluntary, by observing more skilled others
and by participating in literacy events, by
exploring and learned writing through
interaction with literate others. (Bissex,
1980) and (Read, 1975)
▪ The child’s
experimentation with
writing allows him to
construct and refine the
kind of knowledge about
written language that
makes reading possible.
Writing is always
related to reading
and reading is
always connected
to writing. As the
child writes, he
integrates
knowledge of
reading with
knowledge of
writing.

Reading And Writing
Independence
Cooper and Kiger (2001) identified five stages of early literacy learning
which involve oral language, reading, and writing skills of children.
These stages involve the following:
▪ Early emergent literacy stage
▪ Emergent literacy stage
▪ Beginning reading and writing stage
▪ Almost Fluent reading and writing stage
▪ Fluent reading and writing stage

Editor's Notes

  • #3 These are child’s first experiences in home where their reading development continues through early years of formally schooling and as they grow. A child will not learn to read that fast but throughout the discussion we will know the different stages of reading process wherein we can monitor On what level of proficiency in reading is the child. Emergent readers they demonstrate alphabet knowledge, a concept of what a word is, a sense of story (beginning, middle, end), listening and re-telling skills, phonemic awareness, and verbal expression. Now let us proceed to what did Harris and Hodges said about an emergent reader.
  • #4 according to Harris and Hodges (1981) refer to this period of acquiring the specific skills and abilities that allow reading to take place as preparedness or reading readiness Reading Readiness/Pre Reading point at which a child is ready to learn to read Recognition of the alphabet, imitation reading, experimenting with letter, sounds associated with letters. Learner-centered activities Connection to non-visual information and visual information of the text. This is the point at which a child is ready to learn to read and the time during which a person transitions from being a non-reader into a reader.  learning to recognize the alphabet, imitation reading, experimentation with letters, and learning the sounds associated with the letters. Children need to have learner-centered activities because as a child they must have an opportunity to make the connection between their non-visual information and the visual information of the text.
  • #5 There are many models on reading development design which help us in determining what is the pace of a child and one of this models designed to have guided reading instruction in identifying where a child is in Marie Clay (1991) and Fountas and Pinnell (2001) have noted five main stages of literacy development.
  • #6 Display curiosity about reading and books Pretend to read and write Rely on pictures to tell the story but are beginning to focus on print May know some letter names and sound associations Can write some letters, usually, those in their own names 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
  • #7 Ages from 5-7 Rely more on printed text than on pictures Develop more word recognition strategies(monitoring, searching, cross checking and self correction) Develop bank of sight words wherein their speed of reading increases. The more reading text they read, The it allows them to develop the next stage
  • #8 Ranges: 5-7
  • #9 Ranges 6-9
  • #10 Ranges 9 and above Teaching students to "read inferentially" helps them learn how to read more strategically. This technique is derived from the teaching model that learners develop knowledge via the process of interpreting new information in light of past experiences and rethinking past knowledge based on new information.
  • #11 Factors that influence the development
