Great to see how your pupils are using their #DigitalLiteracy & #literacy skills to help them edit & improve their writing - in the most appropriate language too! :)
These P7s used @Microsoft365 and Immersive Reader to listen back to their writing to ensure it made sense. One pupil wrote sentences in his home language and used Immersive Reader to translate it into English. @MicrosoftEDU @MSEducationUK @GlowScot
