Charles fries stages of reading development?

Answer 1

The most common theory regarding the stage of reading development has six stages.

Stage 0, from birth to age six, is a pre-reading stage characterized by a child's growth of knowledge and first use of spoken language.

Stage 1, from grades 1-2, is when children learn the letters of the alphabet and the corresponding sounds per letter.

Stage 2, from grades 2-3, children learn to apply the knowledge gained in previous stages to read words and stories.

Stage 3 has two phases. The first lasts from grades 4-6 and the second from grades 7-8. In stage 3, children start to learn new knowledge, thoughts, experiences, and information through reading. In Phase B of this stage, students begin to read critically, and confront different viewpoints, analyzing and critcizing what they read.

Stage 4, which encapsulates all of high school, forces students to accept multiple viewpoints. This barrage of viewpoints is brought on by textbooks, which provide a multitude of varying forms of information, and the student constructs new information based on what they read and their analysis of the information.

Stage 5, for those ages 18 and over, readers begin to be more discerning with what they read and the information they take in. They can read any relevant text to the full amount of detail, and analyze, synthesize, and make judgments on their reading material.
