2ND – 6TH FEBRUARY

Reading Schools Week

Reading Schools Week celebrates reading and books in Scottish schools.

Through a Global Citizenship Education approach, literacy can be used to explore identity, rights and global issues, helping learners make connections between stories and the wider world.

This links naturally to learning across Scottish classrooms, supporting literacy, critical thinking and discussion across stages and curriculum areas.
