THIS week's first Home Times sees the return of the Thistles with fun ideas that let you bring literacy into family film time.

Glasgow's Literacy For All team has come up with a series of activities to do that will bring the whole family together.

There's a month-long guide to download to help you choose a movie to watch - and even snack suggestions to go alongside.

Teachers have given a list of questions that parents and carers can have children consider before, during and then after the film.

The Spot The Shot challenge gives youngsters task to do while watching the movie.

And there are example videos online for those with internet access to try out camera, colour and sound activities.
