English Writing at MLCCC Summer Camp
Writing Skills Facilitates Long Term Academic Success
While there are countless benefits to having strong writing skills, the benefit of teaching students these skills from an early age is mostly on academic success across the curriculum. Study after study suggests that students who are able to master writing skills early on perform better and consistent in overall literacy and communicating.
Increased writing instruction that focuses not merely on penmanship, but on writing strategies, planning, and organization, can benefit students for the rest of their lives. Even prior to this, increased confidence with writing skills can help students to be more effective in communicating their understanding of core curriculum and learning standards, allowing students to better demonstrate their knowledge across the curriculum and to express their concerns and questions in a way to help further their personal understanding.
Writing is a key skill in the Professional World Working in a professional setting requires strong writing skills. A 2016 study found that 44% of managers feel most recent college graduates entering the workforce lack writing proficiency. With writing skills in such high demand, increased writing instruction and student feedback can benefit students for the rest of their lives.
The earlier children begin to master writing, the better they perform academically.
