Hope everyone is well and had a good January!
I’m getting in touch with some updates for Read, Write, Count.
First of all, we are doing some evaluation on the first year of the campaign and the bags. There are 3 surveys, one for teachers, one for parents and one for Lead Contacts which we would be grateful if you could complete and return.
For parents the prize is a personal Read, Write, Count Goodie bag filled with books, games and activities for all the family to enjoy.
The deadline to complete these is Tuesday 28 February. If you are a parent of a P2 or 3 child please also complete the parent survey too: https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/FCP6MQN
Secondly, Scottish Government have asked me to pass on some information about their new parental involvement campaign, Future Me. Please see details below.
Read, Write, Count’s new parental engagement campaign, ‘Future Me’ launches on 20th February. Future Me, as part of Read, Write, Count, asks parents and carers to talk to their children to discover what their children’s hopes and dreams are, to share those dreams on our Future Me wall and make a promise to do all they can to help their child realise their ambitions. It’s about what’s important to the children of Scotland, and parents making a commitment to help their child imagine a great future and live out those dreams. Future Me’s wall will preserve those dreams, and build a picture of Scotland’s children’s hopes and ambitions – a country that believes every child has the right to succeed, regardless of their circumstances.
