Literacy Support

We can help you to improve achievement and standards in Literacy by providing:
 
  • resources to support teaching and learning e.g big books for shared reading, fiction boxes to provide extra high-quality books in the classroom
 
  • library and information skills lessons in schools (e.g locating books using the Dewey classification system, using a contents page and index)
 
  • whole-school schemes of work for library and information skills, as well as individual activities for specific aspects
 
  • quizzes, offered annually for both Primary and Secondary schools, to promote reading and extend pupils’ abilities and skills
 
  • Red House Children’s Book Award voting and reviewing activities
 
  • advice on a range of aspects of books, reading and Literacy e.g ideas for Book Weeks, books to encourage boys, newly-published books
