Kroll's stages

Preparatory stage
ages 0-6
the child masters the physical skills needed for writing and have an understanding of the basic principles
Consolidation stage
ages 6-8
writing reflects spoken language and contains colloquialisms. Sentences are short, declarative, grammatically incomplete, or simple conjunctions (eg. and, so, then) used to link longer sentences
Differentiation stage
ages 8-mid teens
There's an awareness of the differences between writing and speech. Children have confidence in grammatical structures and sentences become more complex, with sophisticated connectives used
Integration stage
mid teens onwards
A 'personal voice' is developed and a writing style is adopted confidently.
