Stages of writing???

Stages of children’s writingAs children begin to write, their marks can be identified according to stages of writing.

*Emerging Scribbling*Pictorial*Pre communicative *Semi phonetic *Phonetic*Transitional*Conventional writing *Traditional

Emerging Scribbling

Young children believe they are writing when they scribble and often "read" what they have just scribbled. Children often will move the pencil like adults, making their scribbles from left to right.

Emerging scribbling is usually : • NONSENSICAL• SHAPING

• NON-FOCUSED

Emergent Scribbling

PictorialChildren draw and "read" their

drawings as a form of communication.

They may draw an unrecognizable form and say, "I played in the home center today with my friends."

Or they may draw a tree like form and say,

"This says remember to take me to the park.“

Features of writing include : EMERGING PATTERNS

RECOGNISABLE PICTURE IMITATION WRITING

Pre communicative • As children become more aware of the

alphabet, they often write the letters in long strings, usually at random.

• Features of writing include : KNOWN WORDS

STRINGS OF LETTER-LIKE FORMS SERIES OF RANDOM LETTERS

Pre Communicative

Semi-phonetic. At the beginning of this stage,

children may write one letter to represent one word.

Later, words are represented by two letters, the initial and ending letter sounds.

As the child’s writing continues to mature, most sounds are represented in their invented spelling

Semi Phonetic

Phonetic

Using beginning and ending sounds . Some frequently used words are spelled correctly. Leave space between words. Easier to read writing

Phonetic

Transitional• Writing words the way they

sound, representing most of the syllables in words.

• Adding silent e and doubling letters

• Space between words• Write more than one sentence

Conventional Writing The child begins writing more

and more words are spelled correctly. In this stage the following features of writing are noticed:

Phonics based spelling Spell words already

learnt Using capital and

lowercase letters, periods and

question marks.

Conventional Writing

Traditional

Advanced writing with a varied body of written vocabulary.

May still use phonemic based spellings for advanced words but have mastered the spelling of commonly used words.
