Literacy across learning at first and second levels

Curriculum for Excellence makes developing literacy the responsibility of all teachers throughout all areas of the curriculum. This seminar will focus on effective learning and teaching of literacy experiences and outcomes in primary schools. Primary practitioners will talk about how they have engaged with the literacy experiences and outcomes through all areas of the curriculum.

Participants will hear from practitioners about how they have:

• planned for literacy learning in a coherent and relevant way across the curriculum
• considered how to ensure progression of learners' literacy skills
• developed approaches to moderation of learners' work
• introduced Book Banding to their establishment
