Primary Literacy Outdoors

Primary Literacy Outdoors is a practical and engaging programme that helps you make the most of your outdoor spaces, using simple, low‑resource activities to build confidence in teaching reading, writing, speaking and listening outside.

Making use of the spaces and places you have in your school, Primary Literacy Outdoors will show you how to engage learners in reading, writing, speaking and listening through simple, low resource activities that you can repeat with your learners in the outdoor classroom.

Content

All of the activities included in Primary Literacy Outdoors are curriculum linked, and support the notion that outdoors is often a better place than indoors for learning. Indeed, many of the ideas you will discover during this course act as a springboard to wider inter-disciplinary activities.

Primary Literacy Outdoors will:

Explore your school grounds and local area as a context for developing literacy skills
Suggest a range of tasks and challenges you can use, all with curricular linked outcomes
Explore challenges and barriers, and suggest solutions for overcoming them
