‘Every Day’s a Learning Day’ consists of two books produced by Education Scotland for parents and carers of children aged between birth and 3 years, and 3 to 6 years. The aim is to help parents support their child’s development in the crucial areas of health and wellbeing, literacy and numeracy.
This resource highlights the many excellent learning opportunities that exist within daily experiences such as washing the dishes, preparing a meal or doing the shopping.
The books will be distributed through the Scottish Book Trust’s Bookbug programme. Parents of new babies are set to receive a copy of the birth to 3 book from their health visitor. The second book, which supports parents with children aged 3 to 6 years, will be issued when their child turns 3 and starts nursery.
To view the copies of ‘Every Day’s a Learning Day’ online, please visit the Education Scotland website where you can download both books in PDF format, including a Gaelic language version.

Our unique Across the Generations Project encourages children to invite an adult from their family to come with them to the event, helping you to encourage literacy and strengthen the bond between school and home.
To be eligible you simply need to…
Offer your children the chance to bring a parent, grandparent or other adult with them to the show,
either in the morning at 10am or in the evening at 7pm.
Submit your Booking Form and we will hold a place for each child with an additional free adult ticket allocated for each one,
you then send a letter home inviting adults to come with the class and confirm the adult numbers later.
Just asking the adults to come makes you eligible to apply for FREE Transport!
The film ticket costs £2.50 per child but all adults are FREE and if you are among the first 10 schools to apply we can provide coach travel from schools anywhere in FIFE to the Adam Smith Theatre in Kirkcaldy completely FREE.
