Every Day’s A Learning Day – Parentzone questionnaire now available

http://www.educationscotland.gov.uk/newsandevents/educationnews/2012/educational/october/news_tcm4734833.asp

This year, Education Scotland produced two booklets for parents, ‘Every day’s a learning day – birth to 3 years’ and ‘Every day’s a learning day – 3-6 years’. The booklets are being distributed to parents of new-born babies and children beginning their pre-school education aged three.

If you are a parent in one of the above groups we would be grateful if you would complete our short survey. This will, along with other information, help us decide how best we can support the parents of young children in the future.

Parents’ Conference Reading – what’s my role

Reading – What’s my role?
Saturday 27th October 10.00am – 3.00pm, The Mercure Hotel, Inverness

The Literacy Team at Education Scotland is hosting a free conference for parents and would be grateful if you could make this information available to parents. 

Once children have mastered the basics of learning to read, many parents are concerned about how best to develop their child’s skills and encourage a love of books.  The conference will support parents in helping children to successfully negotiate an information rich world and to become readers for life.

Nicola Morgan, the award-winning author, will deliver the keynote address.  The conference will explore some of the perceived barriers to reading and discuss how parents can best support their children.
