  • Scottish Survey of Literacy and Numeracy (SSLN)

    SSLN Literacy 2012

    The Scottish Survey of Literacy and Numeracy (SSLN) is a sample-based survey which monitors performance in literacy and numeracy in alternate years. This year the main focus of the survey is literacy but there is also a numeracy pre-test taking place at the same time.

    We have developed the SSLN area within SQA Academy to help schools in planning for and carrying out the survey.  The SSLN area is also where you will find the Pupil Assessment Area where pupils will access the online component of the survey.

    SSLN Help

    SQA Academy accounts have been set up for all schools taking part in the SSLN. If you have misplaced or not received your login information please call 0345 213 6964 or email ssln@sqa.org.uk

    The first numeracy survey took place in all schools in May 2011. The report on the findings has now been published.

    Based on the SSLN survey findings, Education Scotland has developed this collection of learning and teaching resources to support all those involved in the development of young people’s numeracy skills.
