    The document describes different levels of reading readiness and development from emergent to fluent. At the emergent level, children memorize pattern books and pretend to read. They use illustrations and environmental print. At the developing level, they can read simple books and use basic punctuation. By beginning level, they can read their own writing and use letter sounds. The expanding level includes using word structure cues and self-correcting for meaning. At the bridging level, expression is used in reading and characters can be compared. The fluent level involves reading 'between the lines'.
