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.
The main reading resource in P1 – P3 is ‘Storyworlds’.
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.
Our upper school language programme is ‘Literacy World’. Novel studies also form a large part of the language development programme.
There is a plentiful supply of current topical library and reference books. Pupils are guided by teachers to develop good reading habits.
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.
