There is a well-structured language programme throughout the school. Teachers plan for experiences and outcomes across all levels of Curriculum for Excellence, according to pupils’ needs and stage of development.
In line with Glasgow City Council’s Early Intervention Policy the emphasis in the early stages is on the teaching and learning of phonics.
In Primary one, the highly structured phonics programme requires some considerable parental support and cooperation with the class teacher.
There is a plentiful supply of current topical library and reference books. Pupils are guided by teachers to develop good reading habits.
The main reading resource in P1 – P7 is ‘Big Cat’.
Visits to the local library are encouraged at all stages of the school. All classes make a visit to the Mitchell Library at various stages during the school year.
Our writing resource used in the school is Pie Corbett ‘Talk for Writing’.
