Stage 4: This stage is called Syllables and Affixes Spelling. During this stage students first study the common long-vowel patterns. These spellers take a closer look at vowel patterns within single-syllable words. This stage begins when students can correctly spell most single-syllable, short-vowel words correctly as well as consonant blends, digraphs, and preconsonantal nasals. These spellers usually range from ages 7-10 years old, but many adult low-skilled readers remain in this stage. This level of orthographic knowledge typically begins as students transition to independent reading toward the end of the first grade, and expands throughout the second and third grades, and even in the fourth grade. Stage 3: This stage is called within word pattern spelling. By the end of this stage, late letter name-alphabetic spellers are able to consistently represent most regular short-vowel sounds, digraphs, and consonant blends. Middle to late letter-name alphabetic spelling- During this stage students are learning to segment both sounds in a consonant blend and begin to represent the blends correctly. Throughout this stage, students learn to segment the sounds within words and match the appropriate letters or letter pairs to those sequences. This stage is divided into three stages: early, middle, and late periods. For example the word ‘when’ might be written with a ‘y’ instead of ‘wh’ because of the sound it makes. In this stage students use the names of letters as cues to the sound they want to represent. These ages typically range from 5-8 years old. The children in this stage are formally taught to read, typically during the kindergarten and first-grade years and extending into the middle of second grade. Stage 2: This stage is called Letter Name-Alphabetic Spelling. Here are a few examples of the emergent stage: Throughout the emergent stage, children begin to learn letters, particularly the letters of their own names, and begin to pay attention to the sounds in words. In the middle of the emergent stage, pretend writing is separate from the picture. When children sit next to older children and adults, they begin to use something that looks like script to “tell” about the picture. During this early stage there are no designs that look like letters. In the early emergent stage, students may produce large scribbles, which are basically drawings. Most toddlers and preschoolers, even kindergarten students and up to first grade are emergent spellers. These learners typically range from ages 0-5. This is when children’s writing efforts include those who are not yet reading conventionally, and have not been exposed to formal reading instruction. Stage 1: This stage is called the emergent stage. There are five different stages of spelling development discussed in the article, Words Their Way, which include:
