⭐ It’s effective practice Wednesday ⭐
Today we’re shining a light on this example from Inverkip Primary and Nursery Class.
At the Inverclyde Council school, pupil leadership and a shared commitment to reading have helped create a thriving literacy culture 📖
After staff identified variability in children’s reading habits across the school, a P6 Literacy Committee was set up to lead the development of a new school library. This involved consulting with peers, fundraising, selecting texts and organising reading events and promotions. Alongside this, teachers engaged in ongoing professional learning to strengthen approaches to reading for enjoyment, dialogic teaching and literacy across the curriculum.
The impact has been significant. Reading attainment has remained high at 94%, writing attainment increased from 82% to 90.2%, and pupils across the school are demonstrating greater confidence, independence and enthusiasm for reading.
Inverkip Primary highlights how learner participation, strong professional collaboration and a focus on reading for pleasure can lead to sustained improvements in engagement and attainment.
