Initial Cognitive Characteristics
Intermediate school children used logic and reasoning give them chances of
thinking about what they want and how to get it. They now become very interested
in talking about the future or even their potential career. They are even capable of
understanding concepts without having direct hands on experience.
Reading development
Children in this stage, is marked by a white application of word attack.
Because of the presence of previous knowledge, they now have a wide vocabulary
which enables them to understand the meanings of unknown words through context
clues (this is the “ reading to learn” stage in reading development).
Attention
Older children have longer and more flexible attention span compared to
younger children. Their span of attention is dependent on how much is required by
the given task. In terms of school work, older children can concentrate and focus
more for longer period of hours especially if they are highly interested in what
they are doing.
