What does 'emerging reader' refer to?

A student with no exposure to reading
A student developing oral language and literacy skills
A student who reads fluently
A student who prefers listening over reading

The correct answer is: A student developing oral language and literacy skills

An 'emerging reader' refers to a student who is in the process of developing basic oral language and literacy skills. This stage is characterized by the child's growing familiarity with letters, sounds, and the concept of print, as well as their ability to make connections between spoken and written language. Emerging readers are typically exploring the relationship between sounds and letters, beginning to recognize common words, and may engage in activities such as retelling stories or predicting outcomes based on illustrations or text. Thus, this stage is critical for laying the foundation for future reading proficiency and comprehension. The focus on development shows that these students are actively learning and progressing in their reading journey.
