Active Literacy Information Session
Active Literacy
The whole school is going to be embarking on an exciting new method of teaching Literacy – specifically, phonics, spelling and reading.
All staff have already been, or about to be, trained in Active Literacy and will be working with the children on this all the way from P1 to P7.
We would like to invite you to an information session and hopefully answer any questions you may have.
