Where to begin...

Emergent Readers Level 1

PRE-K TO KINDERGARTEN

  • Recognizing lowercase and uppercase letters

  • Understanding letter-sound relationships

  • Uses pictures, print and story patterns to gain meaning from the text

  • May have a grasp of some sight words as well as ability to sound out simple syllable patterns such as CVC.

Emergent Readers Level 2

Readers at this stage have fully developed an understanding of the alphabet, phonological awareness, and early phonics. Early readers typically recognize a high number of sight words, and continue to work on these skills:

  • Work attack strategies

  • Predicting new words during reading

  • Ability to retell story as well as identify the message of the story

Transitional Reader

2ND/ 3RD GRADE

Transitional readers, sometimes referred to as intermediate readers, have typically begun to adopt the reading behaviors that will allow them to progress toward more advanced reading skills.  These readers are developing these following skills:

  • Fluency is increasing with simple stories and text

  • Can decode common words

  • Begin to build a rich vocabulary

Early Fluent Readers are approaching new texts with more independence. At this level readers can read longer, more complex sentence structures.  They are beginning to "read to learn." Early Fluent Readers are developing these skills:

  • Continued work on increasing fluency

  • Building vocabulary skills
