Why bring your pupils along?
"[Since the author visit] the attainment levels of the poorer ability children had risen significantly and the class as a whole was more confident in talking about books and reading with each other.” Jacqueline Adam, Curriculum Library (Primary), Aberdeen City Council
A good author event really can increase your pupils' interest and enjoyment in reading and writing, and helps you fulfil the draft literacy and English experiences and outcomes of a Curriculum for Excellence. Find out more!
