Learning and Teaching Scotland has commissioned a research project in conjunction with the Scottish Book Trust.  The research will look at the impact of author events on the confidence, enjoyment and attainment of young people’s literacy skills in primary and secondary schools across Scotland.
In order to provide a thorough overview, we want to hear the opinions of as many teachers as possible and are encouraging teachers to complete the survey between now and 11 July.

We have commissioned Blake Stevenson to carry out the research on our behalf.  The findings from the research will be published in spring 2012.
