Experiential learning activities contribute to functional literacy by allowing students to apply theoretical knowledge in practical settings, such as industry immersion, service learning, research sharing, and public forums. These activities promote the development of critical thinking and problem-solving skills, as well as the ability to transfer learning to real-world scenarios, which are essential elements of functional literacy .
The lack of reading comprehension skills among Grade 4 pupils can be attributed to factors such as the inability to master prerequisite reading skills in earlier grades and a reduced time allotment for developing these skills . This can hinder educational growth by limiting their ability to understand and engage with more complex texts, impacting their overall academic performance and ability to learn new information effectively.
Teachers might face challenges such as adapting to a broad variety of media and genres, effectively using technological tools in class activities without overwhelming students, and ensuring that new literacy forms are interconnected with traditional literacy skills. Balancing these elements while engaging students meaningfully can be complex and demands continuous learning and adaptation in teaching strategies .
