Renfrewshire Council's Literacy Development Programme is an innovative new programme which will transform the teaching of reading in Renfrewshire schools. It is working in partnership with Strathclyde University to deliver a range of training programmes involving head teachers and class teachers across primary and secondary schools in Renfrewshire to support the teaching of literacy. The Literacy Development Programme is an investment as part of Renfrewshire’s Tackling Poverty Programme, and is focussed on narrowing the attainment gap between children from low income households and their peers.
