As Emerging Literacy continues to be developed across Highland we have, this year, been working with the local authorities within the Northern Alliance – Aberdeen City, Aberdeenshire, Eilean Siar (The Western Isles), Moray, Orkney and Shetland – to further develop the approach across the north of Scotland.

As part of this we have undertaken data analysis on Phonological Awareness and Pre-Handwriting at the beginning of Primary 1 to gauge a baseline of skills within these two domains. This, along with information on the progress made between June and December 2016, can be found in the report on the link below:

A further two reports will be published in March and July to detail the progress made over an academic year.
