DEVELOPMENTAL STAGES OF SPELLING SCRIBBLING These marks are children’s first attempts to communicate through writing. As early as 2 years of age, children use different types of “scribble” to represent drawing and writing. Difference functions and forms of writing – lists, letters, stories – also show up during the scribble stage. RANDOM This stage of spelling is equivalent to babbling in oral language development. Children realize that the letters are the particular marks that communicate messages but have no sense of how particular letters relate to particular sounds. At this stage, you will see children use a random ordering of letters and numbers to represent words. Example: aR3st could stand for any word on the list. PRE-PHONETIC At this stage, children have realized that letters represent certain sounds but in their spellings they represent only a few of the sounds. It is common at this stage to see one, two or three-letter spellings. These spellings contain mainly consonants and omit sounds the children here. Examples: MSR could be monster or mister. KLZ could represent closed. 1. Letter represents initial sound 2. Letters for initial and final sounds 3. Letters for initial, middle, and final sounds PHONETIC Spellings at this stage are characterized by an almost perfect match between letters and sounds. This does NOT mean that the spellings are conventional. However, other people can usually read almost anything the children write. Examples: MONSTR for monster, TIP for type. Spelling is at the articulation (where the tongue is in the mouth when saying sounds), also using the name of the letter for the sound. Examples: AT = ate (letter for sound) CHRUK = truck (articulation) Jive = drive (articulation) TRANSITIONAL Children are beginning to stabilize conventional spelling at this stage. You will, however, see unusual spellings as the children try to make spellings conform to the rules being learned. One major characteristic of this stage is that a vowel appears in every syllable of words attempted. Examples: YOUNIGHTED for united, EGUL for eagle. CONVENTIONAL At this stage, all vowel sounds are represented, most words are spelled accurately. They are now ready for homonyms, contractions, irregular spellings, beginning to internalize rules that govern more difficult vowel and consonant combinations, word endings, prefixes, suffixes Movements from: Tongues Eyes/Ears Knowledge/Sight Sight/Ears Random Beginning sounds—not letters Beginning and ending sound Beginning, middle and ends
