Print front and back (long-ways) to create a single page for your child or student.  \nAs I mentioned in my Literacy Development article, this checklist is simply one of many tools we can use to help us, as observers, become more aware of what our child/student understands about reading and spelling so we can better guide our teaching.  \nChildren in the alphabetic stage are typically 5-7 years old, although older and younger children may certainly exhibit some of these behaviors.  \nRead more about it!  \n(click on links below)  \nThe Alphabetic Stage 5 Stages of Literacy Development  \nTerms of Use: This free printable pack was created for you to use at home with your child/students or with multiple children in your classroom/tutoring setting.
