Writing in a transitional stage
Children stop using random letters in their writing when they begin to
understand that words are composed of sounds and that letters stand in for these
sounds. Rather, they begin attempting to link letters they are familiar with to the
sounds they hear in a word. An example of a youngster spelling "My cat is
happy" might be "mi kat z hpe."
mi kat z hpe period of transition
5–6 years of writing fluency Children start using "dictionary" spelling instead of
"invented" spelling at this stage, which typically occurs between the ages of five
and six. Children now understand that different spellings might have distinct
meanings, even though the spelling may not be exact. They will even start
learning some words by heart, particularly difficult but frequently used terms
(such as "was," "and," and "the") so they can spell them correctly.
