Literacy Concept Map: Core Skills Explained
A literacy mind map shows the skills that let a person read, write, speak and understand language. Literacy is usually split into receptive skills, such as reading and listening, and expressive skills, such as writing and speaking. Each of these depends on foundations like phonological awareness, decoding, vocabulary and comprehension, which together make up the whole picture.
- Foundational skills: phonological awareness, phonics, letter knowledge and decoding
- Reading comprehension: vocabulary, fluency, inference and text structure
- Writing: spelling, grammar, composition and revision
- Oral language: listening, speaking and discussion skills
Use the map to see which skill links depend on each other, then check where your understanding is thin. CogniGuide can build a personalized literacy map from your own notes so your study matches your course.
Literacy Mind Map Questions
Answers on the topic and on making your own map.
