We recently held an S1 Literacy Family Learning Event to launch our literacy programme for S1 pupils and give families a chance to test out the new homework programme to support this.
If you were unable to attend on the evening, a copy of the Powerpoint is available below. Please note, as of August 2018 we will be using a new, albeit similar, online programme called ‘Literacy Planet’.
At first Family Learning event earlier in the year, we looked at different ways to support children in their skills for reading and writing. A copy of the power point used on the night is below:
During the event, the strategy of ‘A CARP PIE’ was introduced and together we looked at and example of how it would be used in practice. The power point below explains what each aspect of ‘A CARP PIE’ is and how this mnemonic can be used to further develop skills in writing.
