Memory reading is a more accurate reading of the text. The child points to the print and coordinates his/her spoken words with the words on the page. During this stage, children learn about directionality, or the left to right, top to bottom direction used for reading. Students at this stage do not yet finger point or track words accurately yet--this skill comes with the "concept of a word" that shows up at the letter name-alphabetic stage.
