• Language for learning

QCA is working with the DfES and with the Primary National Strategy on the use of literacy across the curriculum.

The Primary National Strategy

Literacy remains vital and at the heart of the new Primary Strategy. The Primary Strategy aims to build on the success of the National Literacy Strategy.

One of the immediate priorities for literacy is:

• securing the place of speaking and listening both as a key foundation for literacy and also as an essential component of all effective learning

ThePrimary National Strategy website contains guidance, publications and resources to support the teaching and learning of literacy.
