the development of literacy skills include:
1. Student-led learning, also known as cooperative learning, is an approach to teaching and learning
where students take an active role in their own learning. In this approach, students work together in
small groups to solve problems, complete projects, or discuss and explore ideas.

communication skills among students. The teacher acts as a facilitator, providing guidance and support
when needed, but allowing students to take ownership of their learning.

tutoring, and group projects. They can also provide students with opportunities to lead
discussions, ask questions, and provide feedback to their peers.
By creating an inquiry-based classroom environment, teachers can help students develop critical
