Their phases are pre-alphabetic, partial alphabetic, full alphabetic, consolidated alphabetic, and automatic. I need a description is that what yours are?

You are referring to the phases of ‘Word learning’ which has to do with alphabet recognition. ‘Word reading’ which was the concept mentioned in the question is the process of decoding words in text that leads to reading comprehension and reading fluency.

Sorry, I not sure if I'm understanding, so you're saying that the one's mentioned are phases for "word learning" and the phases you mentioned are for the word 'reading'? Strange, I also am looking at the discussion post and they are also mentioning the five phases I mentioned. Not saying you're wrong but are you sure? If not we are all wrong in our discussion.

Word learning refers to recognition of alphabet letters and sounds to identify words as they stand alone. Word reading is when we begin combining words slowly to communicate comprehensive thoughts. That is why beginning readers start with books written with a few repetitive words—often using word families. It is through the decoding of integrated words—‘word reading’—that meaning develops and reading comprehension and fluency grow. A beginning reader must learn the alphabet and how letters combine to make words before they will be able to read comprehensively.

The phases you mention are correct for learning words. The phases I mentioned are correct for reading words. Two different reading development areas.

I have to disagree with you Debra. I'm also a reading specialist certified in the Orton Gillingham methodology. The five phases you are referring to have nothing to do with WORD reading and decoding, but reading comprehension--two distinctly different concepts. Marcia Henry explained the decoding-spelling continuum as: 1) phonological awareness 2) alphabet/sounds 3) Anglo Saxon consonants and vowels 4) compound words/prefixes-suffixes/syllable division patterns, 5) Latin roots 6) Greek combining forms. The continuum shows the stages or phases children learn to read, and the content that needs to be taught in those stages. Erhi, et al (1998-2000) describes the five phases of reading (see link) https://www.csun.edu/~hda75098/BalancedReading/DecodingPhasetable.html, which is what Maria S referred to. You'll notice similarities between the two researchers' approaches. Best of luck, Maria, Ann
