This document summarizes cognitive development in intermediate schoolers. It discusses that intermediate schoolers are in late childhood and think concretely. Their thinking skills are more effective than in primary years. At this stage, reading development involves applying word attack skills widely. Older children have longer attention spans than younger children. Creativity is encouraged through activities that celebrate uniqueness and minimize competition. The impact and effects of media use are also discussed, including how it can increase aggression but also improve communication and research skills when used appropriately. Teachers must understand child development to support students' growth.
