Increasing Literacy Skills Comenius Regio Partnership Institutions involved: Partner Regio 1 Coordinator organisation: Ringsaker municipality Partner organisations: Nes primary school NO - Norway Fagerlund primary school Library Service Partner Regio 2 Coordinator organisation: South Lanarkshire Council Partner organisations: Crawforddyke Primary/Nursery UK – United Kingdom Lanark Primary/Nursery Carluke High Coulter/Lamington Primaries Library Service Key words: Libraries, Literacy strategies Thematic Field: Literacy Description: In many regions there is little awareness and cooperation between the main public libraries on the one hand and schools and school authorities on the other hand. This partnership addressed this issue by exchanging experiences and looking at ways to include the public libraries in literacy education and provide library staff with competences and motivation to turn the libraries into literacy education resource centres, cooperating actively with schools and the school authority to improve literacy education. In that sense, the partner regions worked to improve their approaches to and methodologies in literacy education. By exchanging experiences and results from the use of different literacy models and additional literacy aid tools such as ICT-programmes in the two partner regions, the partners gained better knowledge of models and tools, making the strategic decisions for school authorities easier and contributing to removing teachers' barriers against using new models and tools in literacy education. The project provided new insights into the effects of different pedagogical literacy and early intervention models and explored ways to involve public libraries more actively, efficiently and coherently as pedagogical tools in literacy education The project has had considerable impact at all levels. Teachers from both regions report that they have benefited from the exchange of experiences. Similarly, the libraries have exchanged ideas they want to implement in their practice, both within schools and in the public libraries. The project has brought the participating schools and the libraries within each region closer together, and other schools in both countries have also benefited from the work. As a result of this project, links to the public libraries were introduced in the partner regions' local strategies to improve literacy education in the early years of school.

José Antonio Calixto Key words: Libraries, Promotion of reading Description: This project links libraries and schools in the two participating regions in order to foster reading and exchange academic experiences on the use of school libraries as an educational tool. The project identified good practices focussed on motivation, working methodology and strategies to integrate the different students' capabilities and working paces, the use of e-readers to boost and foster reading habits, the use of school libraries as the centres to manage and handle all the information that schools receive from different sources, etc. The project shows that collaboration and exchange of good practices between schools and educational institutions is possible. The interest in and impact of the project has been even larger than expected. The coordinators of the project have been required to detail the main project work lines at several national and regional conferences and meetings; furthermore the schools have incorporated the initiatives promoted through this association in their daily teaching practice, for example, the documentary projects or the use of blogs as information and promotion tools and educational resources. The partner administrations intend to maintain in the future the relationships regarding this and other similar projects. Award: EST star Project.
