# Developing oracy, reading and writing at LSA

| ![](https://www.lythamhigh.lancs.sch.uk/images/events/Vocab_fact_(2).png) |
|---|
| #### Supporting Literacy at home |
| One of our key priorities at LSA is to develop oracy and communication so that our children are articulate and able to speak and write with confidence and accuracy in every area of the curriculum. Supporting your child at home is one of the most important things you can do to help develop their literacy skills.  We firmly believe that a collaborative approach to supporting Literacy will enable our students to succeed in every subject and become confident, independent young people.  National Literacy Trust has some fantastic resources for students to access during lockdown.

Regular reading routines can offer lots of opportunities for learning during school closures.  ![](https://www.lythamhigh.lancs.sch.uk/images/images/Reading_tips.PNG) |
| #### First News |
| ![](https://www.lythamhigh.lancs.sch.uk/images/news/fiaySgoF_400x400.jpg)First News is a student newspaper which is read by more than two million young people every week, it covers politics to entertainment, sports to science and everything in between. Before lockdown, weekly issues were shared in form time during ERIC on a Monday morning and after reading an article, the form group would have discussed the topic. It's a great way for your child to expand their vocabulary whilst growing their knowledge and understanding of the world around them.  <https://www.firstnews.co.uk/> |
