Writing Help
Literacy—the ability to read and write--has always been a hallmark of academic and career success in industrialized countries.
But, today, it’s no longer enough simply to know how to read and write. The increasingly global economy and the new literacy –based technologies demand a higher level of literacy.
What is the difference between basic and advanced literacy?
Advanced literacy goes well beyond knowing how to read and write—it means being able to think, read, and write critically, and to solve all different types of problems.
To a larger extent than ever before, academic and career success today both depend on a well developed literacy. Most of the fastest growing jobs today—that pay well and offer advancement potential—require sophisticated communication and problem solving skills—in other words, advanced literacy skills.
At the center of this advanced literacy “skill set” is writing. Despite the proliferation of non-standard writing forms, as text messages and advertising slogans, the rapid communication technologies of this century have propelled critical writing skills from the periphery of literacy to the center, making it a “real world” skill of the 21st century, perhaps the real world skill.
The most desirable jobs (in terms of both income and advancement potential) of today and tomorrow involve all different writing formats, from short emails to in-depth web page content. On the World Wide Web, the highly literate writer succeeds in ways the barely literate writer cannot, in terms of credibility, accuracy, and selling potential.
Yet, many students reach high school today without realizing that critical reading and writing skills are essential to their career success. They don’t think of writing as a “real-world” skill, but consider it a specialized task of school in general, and English classes in particular. The question of one tenth grader from Old Lyme reflects the attitude of many students today: “Why do I need to learn to write, since I don’t want to be an English teacher or a writer?”
This student from Old Lyme enjoyed writing, when he signed up for individual tutoring, but dreaded writing assignments in school and wondered what purpose they served beyond academics. However, once he understood the connection between advanced literacy and writing, his whole approach to writing changed, and the process itself became both easier and more fluid for him.
So, preparing for college and career success in the 21st century means learning how to write, not just to get good grades in English class or score well on the CMTs or MCATs, but as the key to the skill set that is advanced literacy.
Students who understand that writing skills reach well beyond the English or language arts classroom can overcome their resistance to the writing process and make that process work for them.
