The acquisition of oral language is a natural process. Learning to read and write is much more complex and has to be taught. The space between the different phases is fluid, and learners may move "backwards" at times. The progress has to be looked at over a long period of time. The learning needs to be cyclical, and not just building blocks that progress from one to the next. What is crucial is knowing and understanding each learner's profile and finding ways to support their learning.
