The study of chess has been proven to increase
mathematics and reading test results in elementary
school-aged children. In a Texas study, regular (nonhonors) elementary students who participated in a
school chess club showed twice the improvement of
non-chess players in Reading and Mathematics between third and fifth grades on the Texas Assessment of
Academic Skills. Chess dramatically improves a child’s
ability to think rationally, increases cognitive skills,
improves children’s communication skills and aptitude
in recognizing patterns: therefore, proper study and
practice of chess results in higher grades, especially in
the areas of English and Mathematics. There will be a
school-wide chess tournament towards the end of the
session in which students will earn awards, key chains,
medals, and/or trophies!
