- LINKS FOR LITERACY
SBC Literacy champions have put together some useful links:
Reading
As with in school, as part of your daily Literacy there would normally l be a balance of reading, writing, hopefully some type of virtual activity with teacher/class and then the more contextual based learning that could be supported by siblings also. Keeping screen time to a minimum for our youngest pupils will also be a challenge.
https://www.bl.uk/childrens-books British Library page with super ideas for activities related to children’s books.
Videos and extracts https://www.scottishbooktrust.com/learning-resources Scottish Book Trust –Authors Live Events can be viewed at home

If doing a piece of wiring then please encourage younger pupils to continue to use a pen and pencil to reduce screen time, Pupils can take a photo and send or download the App Scanbot which allows you to create a pdf and e-mail to the teacher as easily as taking a picture. (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/scanbot-scanner-app-pdf-ocr/id834854351)
Writing http://www.pobble365.com/ excellent pictures providing a stimulus for talk, writing, art, vocabulary generation. I see……I think…..I wonder…… as a stimulus? Writing Challenges, Story Starters all free. https://www.onceuponapicture.co.uk/ -could be used for variation once pobble has been used a few times.
Emerging Literacy
Highlandliteracy.com remains a great source of ideas for home activity.
https://alphabeticcodecharts.com/ -It may prove useful to send home some flashcards, alphabetic code charts as references for any supplemental teaching that can be provided online or via video clips in future.
Time spent creating their own flash cards for key words/vocabulary either now in school or once at home along with guidance for families in how to create routines around their use. Quizlet App is a great one for younger pupils.
