At De Aston, we are committed to improving learners' literacy as we recognise the importance of the three key skills of reading, writing and oracy as integral to succeeding in life as well as school.

All learners access literacy skills across the curriculum but they also have additional literacy one morning a fortnight in tutor time and all learners begin English lessons with active reading and writing starters. 

Below are a range of literacy booklets focused on the three skills mentioned above. Feel free to download and use to work on your key skills.
