Recent Product Reviews:

Very useful for my sessions on writing on the primary BA QTS course.
Mrs Kulwinder Maude, School of Education, Kingston University
This book is an interesting read. It explores holistic views of literacy and helps practitioner's explore the notion of primary literacy in a practical way.
Mrs Claire Pescott, Early Years and Education, University of South Wales (Glamorgan)
This new edition of a well-written and informative book will provide an excellent introduction to the teaching of English in primary settings. The inclusion of up-to date reference to material on assessment without levels and the teaching of grammar, spelling and punctuation is key. Each chapter provides examples of lessons that are inspiring and practical. In particular, the chapter on difficult aspects of grammar should give confidence to trainee and recently qualified teachers alike.
Elaine Haywood, Nottingham Trent University
