February is Literacy Month

‘Literacy Month’ at Auchinleck Academy will see pupils participate in a range of activities in order to develop and reinforce their literacy skills. Pupils will participate in activities throughout the school with this level of engagement providing a deeper insight into the importance of literacy. Literacy is fundamental to all areas of learning as it increases opportunities for the individual in all aspects of life, lays the foundations for lifelong learning and work, and contributes strongly to the development of all four capacities of Curriculum for Excellence. Therefore, the literacy experiences within Auchinleck Academy promote the development of critical and creative thinking as well as competence in listening and talking, reading, writing and the personal, interpersonal and team-working skills which are so important in life and in the world of work.
