3. Stages in Teaching together with the Ma’am Levi, who
Reading/Lesson attended the seminar on Stages in
Planning Reading discusses the following:

When it comes to teaching reading, Was discussed

there are several key stages that properly
educators often follow to ensure
comprehensive literacy development.
Here are some major key points about
these stages:
Pre-reading Stage:
 This stage focuses on
preparing students for
reading by developing their
pre-literacy skills.
 Activities may include
exposure to letters, sounds,
and vocabulary through
songs, rhymes, and games.
 Building phonemic awareness,
understanding concepts of
print, and developing oral
language skills are
emphasized.
Early Reading Stage:
 Also known as the emergent
or beginning stage, this phase
involves introducing students
to basic reading skills.
 Students learn letter-sound
correspondence, sight words,
and basic decoding strategies.
 Simple, predictable texts with
repetitive patterns are often
used to build confidence and
fluency.
Transitional Stage:
 At this stage, students begin to
develop more advanced
decoding skills and expand their
vocabulary.
 They learn more complex
phonics rules and strategies for
figuring out unfamiliar words.
 Reading comprehension
strategies such as making
predictions, summarizing,
and making connections are
introduced.

Fluent Reading Stage:

 In this stage, students have
developed sufficient decoding
skills and vocabulary to read
fluently.
 They focus on building
reading comprehension skills,
including understanding main
ideas, inferencing, and
analyzing texts.
 Students read a variety of
genres and texts of increasing
complexity to enhance their
comprehension abilities.
Reading for Understanding Stage:
 This stage emphasizes critical
thinking skills and deeper
comprehension.
 Students engage in higher-
level reading activities such as
analyzing themes, evaluating
arguments, and synthesizing
information from multiple
sources.
 They learn to think critically
about the content, make
connections across texts, and
apply their understanding to
real-world contexts.
Independent Reading Stage:
 At this stage, students have
become independent readers
who can select and
comprehend texts on their
own.
 They continue to expand their
reading interests and develop
a lifelong love of reading.
 Teachers provide support and
guidance as needed, but
students take ownership of
their reading choices and
learning.

And the 3 key stage in making Lesson

Plan for teaching reading was given
emphasis.

1. Before Reading
2. During Reading
3. After Reading

These stages may overlap, and

individual students may progress
through them at different rates.
Effective teaching of reading involves
assessing students' needs and
providing appropriate instruction and
support at each stage to ensure
continuous growth and development
in literacy skills.
