Why are the literacy experiences and outcomes also published separately from the Literacy and English and from the literacy and Gàidhlig frameworks?

The importance of the development of literacy skills across all areas of the curriculum is stressed in Building the Curriculum 1. All practitioners - from the early years, through primary and secondary education, in youth work settings and in colleges - are in a position to make important contributions to developing and reinforcing the literacy skills of children and young people, both through the learning activities which they plan and through their interaction with children and young people. Schools and their partners need to ensure a shared understanding of these responsibilities and that the approaches to learning and teaching will enable each child and young person to make good progress in developing their literacy skills. It is expected that the literacy experiences and outcomes, and this accompanying paper, will be read by a range of practitioners, including those who work in school library resource centres, who make an enormous contribution to the development of the literacy skills of children and young people.
