Dear Parent/Guardian, As part of the Scottish Attainment Challenge North Lanarkshire asked parents, teachers and librarians to support our Read to Succeed pledge for new S1 pupils. The aim of this project was to encourage children to read more by providing them with books they COULD read and books they WANTED to read, as well as providing opportunities for this reading to take place and the author visits to S1 earlier in the year. To help us understand how this pledge and initiative has made pupils and parents feel about reading, you and your child are being asked to complete a short survey. This survey will ask what you/your child think about reading, how often you/your child read and the kinds of things you read. Data gathered from this survey will be kept confidential, held securely and be kept for no longer than necessary. No parents/guardians, children or schools will be identified in the research findings. The findings will be used in a report for the Scottish Attainment Challenge and summary information will be presented to schools and other establishments within North Lanarkshire. If you are happy for you/your child to take part in the research, please sign the space below to confirm this.
