Start to imitate writing.
Mock letters.
Transitional
Children start to use conventional spellings for some words, and apply spelling rules or patterns to others.
Inventive spelling
strings of letters on a page
Phonetic Stage
Children use letters to represent all the sounds they hear in words, but often miss silent letters or complex spellings.
Use a letter or group of letters to represent every speech sound they hear.
Conventional
