I need to know the order that these reading skills develop?

Question

environmental print

letter recognition and inital sounds

rhyming

Word Families

Building vocab

Answer 1

exactly the opposite of how you listed them

Answer 2

* Building Vocab  - happens first, but is on-going throughout life

*environmental print - what toddler doesn't recognize the golden arches?

* rhyming - 2's like to hear it; 3's begin to get it

* letter recognition - sometimes starts with 2's, but usually with 3's and starts with the first letter in their own names

*initial sounds - starts with 3's and goes on into 4's and even 5's

*word families - emphasis starts in K

Answer 3

Building vocab depends on the enviroment in which the child is in. They should start with letter recognition and sounds. Then rhyming then word families. With enviromental print, I think that matters on what the symbol is because if it is McDonalds or Burger King kids tend to know those rather early. I just happen to be tutoring a 5 year old that is learning alot of this.
