Improving literacy and numeracy has an important role to play in improving attainment.

Improving school attainment for all and closing the attainment gap have long been priorities for the Scottish Government, with programmes such as Raising Attainment for All already working well across Scotland since launching in June this year.

In the year ahead, the Scottish Government will go further by bringing a sharper focus to the need for improvement in educational attainment.

This will include the introduction of a Read, Write, Count literacy and numeracy campaign aimed at Primary 1 to 3 children, to build on the success of the Play, Talk, Read campaign already in place.
