What do we mean by:
Early Childhood
Early Childhood is the time period between birth and five years when a child usually begins formalized education. Studies suggest that high-quality activities for skill development are particularly important when children are three and four years of age.
Early Readers
Early Readers have been introduced to reading, but they are just beginning and cannot read many words by themselves yet.
Developing Readers
Developing Readers are learning to put together their growing oral language skills (like vocabulary knowledge) with their growing ability decode printed words and read simple stories. They are beginning to apply what they know to read harder words, sentences, and longer stories.
More Advanced Readers
More Advanced Readers can read complex words and are comfortable with different types of text. These students are often in the middle or high school years.
Primera Infancia
La primera infancia es el período de tiempo entre el nacimiento y los cinco años de edad, momento en que el niño generalmente comienza la educación formal. Estudios sugieren que ciertas actividades que los niños pueden hacer entre los tres y cuatro años de edad, son particularmente importantes para el desarrollo de las habilidades precursoras del aprendizaje y la lectura.
Lectores principiantes
Los lectores principiantes son los niños que recién comienzan a aprender a leer, y por eso leen pocas palabras en forma independiente.
Lectores en desarrollo
Los lectores en desarrollo pueden combinar su creciente habilidad del lenguaje oral (como el conocimiento del vocabulario o estructuras sintácticas) con su creciente habilidad para decodificar palabras impresas y así poder leer historias simples. Pueden aplicar sus conocimientos iniciales de lectura para leer palabras más difíciles, oraciones e historias más largas.
Lectores Más Avanzados
Los lectores más avanzados pueden leer palabras complejas y se sienten cómodos con diferentes tipos de textos. Estos estudiantes a menudo están en los últimos años de escuela primaria o en secundaria. Estos lectores ya leen para aprender.
