A key area of focus for the Scottish Government since the introduction of A Curriculum for Excellence has been to work on raising attainment in literacy.
All pupils within the English department will be taught the full range of literacy skills, often integrated into the daily teaching and learning activities taking place.
Below are a series of help-sheets that parents/guardians, and indeed pupils, may find helpful to support the teaching of literacy:
Grammar_Terms_and_what_they_mean
For a more interactive approach to revising basic literacy concepts, why not try out the online programme ‘Studyladder’. It’s completely free and parents can set up an account for their child and then monitor their progress as they attempt a variety of literacy based activities.
