Literacy Guide for Schools: 2012-13

An essential resource for all practitioners for the 2012-13 academic year.

Following the success of last year’s “Schools Guide to Literacy”, we have published a literacy guide for the 2012-13 academic year, available for our network members.

The Literacy Guide for Schools: 2012-13 will support practitioners to interpret the current education drivers in the context of their own school. Covering all aspects of literacy, the guide suggests key advice and ideas and illustrates how these relate to the research and policy requirements for each area.
