This is the introductory statement on Curriculum for Excellence Literacy and English.
The development of literacy skills plays an important role in all learning.
I develop and extend my literacy skills when I have opportunities to:
- communicate, collaborate and build relationships
- reflect on and again explain my literacy and thinking skills, using feedback to help me improve and sensitively provide useful feedback for others
- engage with and create a wide range of texts(1) in different media, taking advantage of the opportunities offered by ICT
- develop my understanding of what is special, vibrant and valuable about my own and other cultures and their languages
- explore the richness and diversity of language(2), how it can affect me and the wide range of ways in which I and others can be creative?
- extend and enrich my vocabulary through listening, talking, watching and reading.
In developing my English language skills:
- I engage with a wide range of texts and am developing an appreciation of the richness and breadth of Scotland’s literacy and linguistic heritage
- I enjoy exploring and discussing word patterns and text structures.
