that young children go through before they can read and write conventionally.
➢ It is a term used to describe the process children go through before they can speak fluently
and read and write formally.
➢ Children at the emergent literacy stage demonstrate that they are aware of the process of
reading and writing even though they cannot perform the skills yet.
