Read Write Count with the First Minister aims to build parents’ confidence, and encourage families to include easy and fun reading, writing and counting activities in their everyday lives. Through the Bookbug and Read Write Count with the First Minister programmes, we gift free book bags and learning materials to children in Fife from birth to Primary 3.

Through Read Write Count with the First Minister, every child in Primary 2–3 receives a free bag with books, educational games and writing materials that change on a yearly basis.

These are delivered to schools in September. For further information about the content of the bags and tips for gifting them to your learners please see the Information Pack.

Our thanks to the following schools who have kindly agreed to host overstock of Read Write Count bags for their local area this year:

West Fife: Carnegie Primary School

Central Fife (West): Capshard Primary School

Central Fife (East): Warout Primary School

East Fife: Castlehill Primary School

Please contact these schools directly to make arrangements for collecting any additional resources you require. For further support, please contact:
