Some of our Primary 6 and 7 children continue accessing the programme if they need to.<\/p>\n<p>IT is used throughout the school to support our children with Dyslexia. We have Chromebooks, laptops and iPads which the children access to help with their learning.<\/p>\n<p>All children from P3-7 participate in the STAR reading programme and have library books linked to their reading age to allow them to read for pleasure independently. Last session we became a Reading School following all of the efforts we have made to develop a love of reading with our children. We have purchased specific books for our Dyslexic children which are located in a section of our library.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"20614\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/ea\/mauchlinepsandecc\/2025\/06\/17\/reading-schools-award\/reading_school_letterhead\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/ea\/public\/mauchlinepsandecc\/uploads\/sites\/1892\/2025\/06\/17130213\/Reading_School_letterhead.png\" data-orig-size=\"266,118\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Reading_School_letterhead\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/ea\/public\/mauchlinepsandecc\/uploads\/sites\/1892\/2025\/06\/17130213\/Reading_School_letterhead.png\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/ea\/public\/mauchlinepsandecc\/uploads\/sites\/1892\/2025\/06\/17130213\/Reading_School_letterhead.png\" class=\"wpa-warning wpa-image-missing-alt aligncenter size-full wp-image-20614\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/ea\/public\/mauchlinepsandecc\/uploads\/sites\/1892\/2025\/06\/17130213\/Reading_School_letterhead.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"266\" height=\"118\" data-warning=\"Missing alt text\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Once again we are celebrating &#8216;Dyslexia Awareness Week&#8216; this week in the school.
