'In the third edition of this book, Browne provides a fully updated guide to language and literacy in the early years, taking into account current research, policy and practice. Chapters cover a wide range of topics such as reading, writing and spelling as well as chapters on special educational needs, bilingual learners and assessment. The book is intended for early years and primary teachers and practitioners in training and will provide them with an easy to read, informative and comprehensive guide to how children acquire these skills' -
Early Years Educator

'I would thoroughly recommend this as a book which enables and empowers at many levels of experience. Every staff room should have a copy' - English Four to Eleven

'While the book is particularly useful for student teachers and NQTs, the reflective activities in each section, in particular, could inform teaching practice for all those seeking to develop language and literacy skills in their classroom - Literacy Time PLUS

Format:Paperback
I found this book very informative on implementing good language and literacy practice in the classroom. With all the changes in the curriculum, the research is up to date making it an invaluable resouce for especially the student teacher covering policy and practice with plenty of suggestions for further reading. It is focused on how the child learns and how to teach language and literacy in an interesting and successful way. There are plenty of case studies and practical examples for implementing good practice making it relevant for qualified teachers as much as students. An excellent book for all those with an interest in language and literacy in Early Years and Key Stage 1 settings.

As a primary PGCE student with limited prior experience in schools, this book is the most helpful explanation of current good practice in primary literacy 3-8 which I have found. I only wish there was a KS2 companion volume.
