Earlier this session, Yvonne McBlain, curriculum support teacher, Falkirk Children’s Services, met with Charlotte McManus, Acting Depute Head teacher at Bowhouse Primary School to discuss literacy. Charlotte shared literacy teaching and learning which was going well in Bowhouse, including their focus at early level on rhyme, repetition and being playful with words through songs and actions. Charlotte kindly shared some of the picture books which Bowhouse colleagues use with primary 1 learners to support their progression of reading skills. We hope this list (see below) is useful to you – but please note other texts which are helping your learners by commenting upon this post? Together we can build an engaging plethora (love that word) of suggestions! These skills are highlighted by the extract from our Falkirk Literacy & English Progression Pathway pictured above.<\/p>\n

The Scottish Book Trust website also has resources which develop \u00a0similar literacy skills using Scots language and rhymes\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0– these may be useful for parents reading to their children at home too. Education Scotland National Improvement Hub resources<\/a> point to this Words for Life<\/a> section of the National Literacy Trust website. It offers guidance for parents on literacy activities and milestones in talking and reading which may also be helpful for family learning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
