Developmental
continuum is a predictable order of gaining
new knowledge and skills.
Children
begin at birth to acquire knowledge, skills
and attitudes about reading and writing.
There
are developmental continua that describe early
reading, writing, and language skills and abilities.
Children
learn to read and write as the result of many
cumulative experiences with adults and other
children.
Assessment
is finding out what children know and can do
and what instruction they need.
Early
assessment and individualized teaching will
help prevent later reading difficulties.
