Nursery World - Award for nursery CD library project

A West Lothian nursery school was invited to a national award ceremony last week to celebrate its innovative project to set up a lending library of CD-Roms. Knightsridge Nursery School's 'Talking Books for All' project, aimed at encouraging parents and carers of nursery children to become involved in promoting literacy in the home, was the only pre-school project to be awarded a grant in the first phase of the National Grid for Learning Scotland innovation awards scheme.

Nursery head Morag Stewart said the funding has allowed the project to be accessed by all the nursery parents and their children. She said, 'We see this scheme as a tool to be used as well as reading books. The nursery promotes parents as the primary educators of children and we hope this scheme will encourage parents and children to interact and improve the children's literacy. If it does this we have achieved our aim.'
