The document explores research that has found texting can increase literacy skills in several ways. Studies in Britain found that the abbreviations used in texting can help children's development of reading and writing skills and boost phonological awareness. Additionally, texting exposes children to new words and can improve their grammatical skills as they learn to distinguish between formal and informal contexts. Features like autocorrect also help with correct spelling and can act as a form of peer editing.
