Literacy across the curriculum

Literacy is essential to learning in all subjects across the curriculum. An effective use of language is necessary to develop knowledge, understanding and skills. At Croesyceiliog, it is our aim to develop learners who use language with confidence, both independently and collaboratively, and in a range of contexts and roles.

Listed below are a number of websites pupils can use in order to improve their literacy skills.
