Developmental Writing Stages. Different experts portray Developmental Writing Stages in different ways. Many stages are labeled different but have the same general concept. There seems to be a discrepancy between the Scribble stage and the Picture stage as to which actually comes first. The amount of stages is also debatable.
Children progress as writers from one phase to the next, with one set of skills building on the skills acquired earlier. Writing, however, combines many skills, and relies on development in many areas not specific to writing. A child's fine motor control and vocabulary, for example, must improve in order for her writing to progress normally. Teachers follow the development of their students relative to established developmental milestones for each age and grade.
