|Describe the tasks here: |

| |

| |

| |

| |

| |What to look for: Refer to pages 15-16 (Emergent Stages of Writing) |

| |

|Uncontrolled Scribbling | |

|Child marks paper while experimenting with the writing tools. | |

|Child marks randomly at any place on the page. | |

|This is the beginning form of writing. | |

|Drawing as Writing | |

|Although the marks do not resemble print, they are significant because the young | |

|writer uses them to show ideas. | |

|Child begins to draw a somewhat recognizable picture and may tell about it | |

|Scribbling as Writing | |

|Child begins to assign meaning to the scribbles. | |

|Child may begin to use directionality when writing (left to right, top to bottom)| |

|Emergent Letters | |

|Letter-like forms emerge sometimes randomly placed, and are interspersed with | |

|numbers. They may appear to be floating. | |

|The children might begin to copy environmental print from around the room. | |

|Pictures may contain more detail and are becoming more recognizable. | |

|Emergent Stages of Writing (Stages 5 – 8) |

|Letter Strings | |

|Children seem to know more about writing and begin to use legible letters. | |

|Children are developing awareness of the letter-to-sound symbol relationship, | |

|although they are not matching most sounds. | |

|Children usually write in capital letters in a left-to-right progression and have| |

|not yet begun spacing. | |

|Beginning Sounds Emerge | |

|Children begin to see the difference between a letter and a word. Words may be | |

|represented by one letter. Their message makes sense and matches the picture, | |

|especially when they choose the topic. | |

|This is the beginning stage of invented spelling. | |

|Consonants Represent Words (For Spanish, this may be Syllables) | |

|Children begin to leave spaces between their words and may often mix upper and | |

|lower case letters in their writing. | |

|They usually write sentences that tell ideas. | |

|Initial, Middle, and Final Sounds | |

|Children may spell correctly some sight words, sibling’s names, and environmental| |

|print, but other words are spelled the way they sound | |

|Their writing is readable. | |

|LANGUAGE ARTS: Writing |

| |

|Target PK Guidelines: |IV.B.2 Child writes own name not necessarily with full correct spelling or well-formed letters. |

|Supporting PK Guidelines |IX.B.1 Child shows control of tasks that require small-muscle strength and control. |
