Education / Pedagogy / Literacy papers (kindergarten)

English term or phrase: emergent

The problem with the word 'emergent' is that it's used alongside the word 'development'. The title of the paper is "Emergent Literacy" (an end-of-year paper about the writing skills of the kids), which I had translated as "Alfabetismo en desarrollo". The problem is that the stages of writing used to asses the development of the kids are: prewriting, early **emergent**, **emergent**, early development. I had used 'En desarrollo' for 'emergent' but since 'early development' is also used, I have to find a new translation for 'emergent'. The word 'emergente' sound too "social", I'm not sure about 'incipiente', 'incipiente temprano'.

The translation is for the US. Thank you.

Yo reemplazaría esos títulos por niveles, ya que tienes la definición. Es sólo una sugerencia, pero me parece lo más práctico.
¡Buena suerte!

Hasta donde yo sé, no hay denominaciones oficiales ni ningún tipo de convención internacional al respecto.

I don't think using emergente is too social. In my experience, School districts and public schools generally like to use very formal language when writing reports
