Re: Iernest
I like your definition of developmental literacy.I forgot to include the goal of achieving fluency in reading.Thanks for reminding me that is an important element.
Also, for the definition of content area literacy I should have included the ability to critically analyze a variety of texts. Bravo, job well done!

Developmental Literacy refers to using various ways or strategies that would help in making students proficient readers and writers and this may entail getting them to demystify text through their understanding
Content Area Literacy also referring to Reading and Writing to Learn, is the social and cognitive practices which involves the desire and ability to read, comprehend, criticize and write about multiple forms of print

Well I could have sworn that I had replied to that post. OOps my bad. Developmental Literacy involves children learning to read through decoding, blending, improving fluency, gaining phonetic skills etc.
Content Literacy involves students understanding what is being read, identifying multiple viewpoints, and constructing and reconstructing multiple forms of text/ print.

Developmental literacy is the on-going process in which a person learns how to read. According to Chall's Stages of Reading Development, Stages 0-2, this type of literacy deals with phonological skills, being able to identify individual words more quickly and reading fluently. The main goal is to grow as a reader; to use the skills learned such as context clues and syllabification to understand what is being read. Developmental literacy continues even when someone is a fluent and "professional" reader.
Content Area literacy occurs in the latter stages of Chall's theory. It refers to the competence that a mature reader acquires by being willing to read and analyze different forms of text such as expository and informative texts. The mature reader is reading with the goal of learning from the body of knowledge and also, to view different perspectives to understand underlying factors not directly stated by the author.

The concept of developmental literacy and content area literacy is clearly defined in Chall’s Reading Development Theory. In Chall’s theory, stages 0 to 2 are considered the “learning to read” or developmental literacy stage where students are beginning to gain control of language and build fluency skills. Students are reading narrative texts for enjoyment.
Stages 3 to 5 are the “learning to read stage” or the critical literacy stage students are now immersing themselves in complex expository texts where they read to gain information and for general knowledge of facts. Reading is less of a recreational task and more content related.
