Mary,
First Steps out of Western Australia had great parent resources. I
don't know if that is still published in this country and whether it
has been changed over the years. The parent resource had just the
sort of description you are looking for. There were also suggestions
for parents about what they could do to support their child's
literacy development at each stage. In fact, the curriculum had a
whole book called Parents as Partners.
If you can't find these materials, I may have a print copy of some of
the parent materials and could copy and mail it to you if you send me
your address off the list.

I have that book, but the continuums are a little different from what I'm
looking for. I'd like to find a continuum that could be shared with
parents...here is the approximate stage where your child is reading...here
is what her reading and writing is like in this stage...show examples of
student performance to relate to the descriptors.
Just curious, how do you use the F & P continuums?
Thanks,
Mary

Check out Fountas and Pinnell. You can find their books on the Heinemann
website. They have a book specifically concerning reading and writing
continuums.
Hope this helps. This is my first time ever responding.

Subject: [MOSAIC] Reading and Writing Continuums
Hi,
I'd like to know if anyone can recommend a resource that has a reading
development continuum and/or a writing development continuum. These would
be continuums that define stages of reading/writing development and provide
specifc descriptors of what a child can do at these stages.
Thank you,
Mary
