Literacy

The development of literacy skills plays an important role in all learning:

An individual develops and extends literacy skills when they have opportunities to:  

• communicate, collaborate and build relationships  

• reflect on and explain my literacy and thinking skills, use feedback to help improve and sensitively provide useful feedback for others  

• engage with and create a wide range of texts in different media, taking advantage of the opportunities offered by ICT  

• develop understanding of what is special, vibrant and valuable about my own and other cultures and their languages  

• explore the richness and diversity of language , how it can affect me, and the wide range of ways in which I and others can be creative 

• extend and enrich vocabulary through listening, talking, watching and reading. 

Resources we use:

• Highland literacy Progression

• Wraparound spelling and Spelling Shed
