So many books to enjoy at Lanark library 📚 Room 3 were enthralled 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼@LanarkPrimary

[LanarkPrimarySchool&ELC @LanarkPrimary]

Room 3 had a wonderful visit to Lanark Library this afternoon. The children enjoyed looking at fiction and non-fiction books, writing book reviews and they even got the opportunity to illustrate their own book. A great time was had by all 📚! @SLCLiteracy

Say, make/break, blend, read, write @StPaulsHam. Embedding a research- based, active routine like this in learners’ muscle memory, is a powerful tool in developing fundamental early literacy skills 🤩

[StPaul’sHamilton @StPaulsHam]

In the Sunshine Room, our boys and girls are becoming so confident in using their 5-finger strategy to successfully blend sounds to read and write their words #successfullearners #confidentindividuals @SLCLiteracy

Creative use of the Read&Write toolbar 🔦🔦🔦 in @LeadhillsS @SLCDigitalEd

[Miss Slater @MissSlater_]

Primary 1-4 @LeadhillsS used the Read and Write toolbar to research facts about the Egyptian Museum in Cairo. They used this information to help them plan an event which they are going to advertise in the format of a poster @mrsfrenchlps @SLCLiteracy @SLC_RAiSE
