What are the 3 stages of literacy development?

  1. Emergent, Beginning, Fluent

  2. Emergent, Established, Fluent

  3. Formative, Intermediate, Advanced

  4. Pre-reading, Established, Mastery

The correct answer is: Emergent, Beginning, Fluent

The correct answer is A. The 3 stages of literacy development are Emergent, Beginning, and Fluent. During the Emergent stage, children start to understand that print carries meaning. In the Beginning stage, they learn letter-sound correspondences and start decoding words. Finally, in the Fluent stage, children can read with accuracy, speed, and comprehension. Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not accurately represent the commonly accepted stages of literacy development.
