Our range of Creative Literacy Workshops for primary schools in Scotland, offer pupils opportunities to explore and experiment with words in different contexts - and appreciate how effective spelling, punctuation and grammar act as the very foundations of language and communication.
Experiential, exciting and empowering, our imaginative and cross-curricular approaches harness tried and trusted approaches from the worlds of drama, visual art and creative writing and are all rooted in the Curriculum for Excellence. Approaches specifically developed to support P1 - P7 children in developing their reading and writing skills – and to boost motivation, build on existing knowledge and enhance progression.
