This page sets out the different approaches that are used at Beattock Primary to help pupils with their handwriting, reading and spelling.

Included on this page is advice on the ways that we teach these things, plus some links to useful websites and guides.

This advice and range of strategies will hopefully prove useful for parents when helping your son or daughter improve their literacy skills.
