Academic skills refer to a studentâs ability to perform age-appropriate school activities related to writing, reading, and mathematical problem-solving. Additionally, academic skills refer to the information learned which is relevant to school success. Having solid academic skills improves academic progress throughout oneâs school experience. Many of the academic skills a child learns are acquired in the school setting. However, pre-academic skills may be obtained in the childâs environment prior to the start of formal schooling.
The majority of us view smartness through the lens of academic merit, which is tied to IQ. IQ tests a narrow set of skills- abstract reasoning, perceptual skill, objective reasoning, spatial reasoning and flexibility in thought process. Out of these skills, chess requires flexibility and abstract reasoning, so you do see a slight overlap between the skill-sets needed to perform well in both areas.
