Advanced Literacy Skills
Advanced literacy skills involve higher-level abilities such as analyzing literature, advanced grammar and syntax, creative writing, and public speaking.
Importance for Literacy Development:
These skills are important for academic success and critical thinking. They enable children to engage deeply with texts, express themselves effectively, and develop advanced communication skills.
Children who struggle with advanced literacy skills may struggle with critical analysis, complex writing tasks, and public speaking. These challenges can impact their academic performance and confidence in higher-level coursework.
Orton-Gillingham Approach:
The Orton-Gillingham approach supports advanced literacy skills through explicit instruction, practice, and feedback in higher-level reading and writing tasks. Research by Chall (1983) underscores the importance of advanced literacy instruction for academic success. Chall’s study highlights that students who receive structured, explicit instruction in advanced literacy skills demonstrate greater academic achievement and critical thinking abilities.
