Three Phases of Conventional Literacy Development

![Page 4: Literacy’s Beginnings, Supporting Young Readers and Writers by McGee and Richgels By: Christina Morrison EDN 340 Dr. Fox](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022080915/56649dbd5503460f94aafca0/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Early Readers and Writers
• Read simple text on their own• Pin point and recognize words (High-
Frequency)• Sight and decode by letter-sound
correspondence• Spell out words, compose longer writings• First grade and early months in second
![Page 5: Literacy’s Beginnings, Supporting Young Readers and Writers by McGee and Richgels By: Christina Morrison EDN 340 Dr. Fox](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022080915/56649dbd5503460f94aafca0/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Transitional
• More complex text with longer sentences• More fluent, have acquired sight words• Multiple meanings of words and ways to spell• Begin writing several genres (per. nar., stories,
poems, science reports, etc.)• Second grade, finishes developing in third

Self-Generative
• Control many strategies for reading complex texts, learning from text, and acquiring new vocabulary
• Increasingly able to revise their own writing to communicate for a wide variety of purposes
![Page 7: Literacy’s Beginnings, Supporting Young Readers and Writers by McGee and Richgels By: Christina Morrison EDN 340 Dr. Fox](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022080915/56649dbd5503460f94aafca0/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Constructing Interpretations of Literature
• Group discussions, share personal responses• Learn different perspectives from peers• Leads to open minded thinking in future
readings• Writing strategies: everyday activities, familiar
faces etc can help students be great writers• Connecting this to what they have read
![Page 8: Literacy’s Beginnings, Supporting Young Readers and Writers by McGee and Richgels By: Christina Morrison EDN 340 Dr. Fox](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022080915/56649dbd5503460f94aafca0/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Literacy Rich Classrooms
• Important because students become reflective, motivated readers and writers
• Use literacy more about themselves and the world they live in

Everyday Routines
