Reading Schools, developed by Scottish Book Trust, is an accreditation programme that supports schools in building a strong reading culture. With three levels of accreditation, it offers practical resources and guidance to help schools foster a love of reading for purpose and pleasure which is proven to boost literacy attainment across the curriculum.
Over a third of our schools in Fife are already accredited or actively working towards it.
