Answer: A) A student opens a familiar book and recalls enough of the language and plot to "read" it without actually identifying any of the words.
Emergent readers understand that written language conveys messages. They may pretend to read by turning the pages of a book and invent the story by using pictures and their memory of the story. "Emergent" is the first stage of early literacy development and is followed by "early," "early fluent," and "fluent" stages.
