Children typically progress through several stages of reading development:
1. Pre-Reading: In this stage, children develop an awareness of books and print. 2. Emergent Reading: Children begin to recognize letters and simple words. 3. Early Reading: Children start to read simple texts with some fluency. 4. Transitional Reading: Fluency improves, and children can read longer and more complex texts. 5. Fluent Reading: Children can read various types of texts smoothly and understand their meanings.
