The Highland Literacy Project focuses on the methodologies employed in the
teaching of Literacy which allow the pupils to become increasingly independent
learners. It is both ‘whole school’ and cross curricular. All aspects of
literacy are intertwined; reading and writing are firmly connected and are
underpinned by structured talking and listening and the use of collaborative
strategies.
The HLP is, and continues to be, based on extensive research from around the
globe, taking account of the good practice in the Highlands and across Scotland.
Over the course of the project, the strategies have been adapted, developed and
extended to meet the needs of both teachers and pupils and to take into account
advice from HMIe and developments in AifL and a Curriculum for Excellence.
The Highland Literacy Project materials are available freely for
use. We do, however, ask that you acknowledge Highland Council when
doing so.

Council.
