There are a number of literacy outdoors resource boxes that can be borrowed by EAC schools and ECCs for a term. These have a class set of books, a wide range of outdoor learning resources and lesson plans to compliment the story. The resources come with a planner that covers all curriculum areas but the main focus is on raising attainment in literacy using the context of the outdoors to offer meaningful, engaging learning experiences to children.
