Please each of the following stages of writing development in order from beginning to most advanced.

This stage is the most advanced level of writing development, where children recognize and utilize the sounds associated with letters to form words. It requires prior knowledge of letters and their sounds, making it unsuitable as an initial stage of writing.

While representing a progression from earlier writing stages, strings of letters signify a basic understanding of forming sequences of letters. However, this stage builds upon prior skills, such as recognizing letter-like symbols, and thus cannot be the starting point in the sequence.

Scribbling is the foundational stage of writing development. Children engage in this stage as they begin to explore writing tools and express their thoughts through random marks. It sets the groundwork for understanding that writing can convey meaning.

At this stage, children advance from scribbling to creating shapes that resemble letters. This step indicates an understanding of the visual aspects of writing but comes after the initial scribbling phase, making it not the first stage.
