Product Description
Review
"'It is beautifully written...One student remarked that this was the first time she had found a book on grammar and knowledge about language interesting - not least because of the welcome touches of humour'. Margaret Mallet, Goldsmiths College (reviewing the first edition) 'This book is a must for every staff room. The texts used and the discussions around them could easily be used to support literacy planning. It makes a fascinating read and can be dipped in to for the clarification of specific issues that crop up when children unexpectedly ask those 'why' questions that can leave us gasping!' English 4- 11 (reviewing the first edition)"

Product Description
Teaching children to develop as language users is one of the most important tasks of a primary school teacher. However, many trainee teachers begin their careers with a low knowledge base.
Language Knowledge for Primary Teachers is the reader friendly guide designed to address this. This book provides a clear explanation of the knowledge and understanding required by teachers to implement the objectives of the National Curriculum for English. It reveals how an explicit knowledge of language can enrich their own and their children’s spoken English. It will give teachers confidence in developing children’s enjoyment and comprehension of reading and writing so children can use their language skills in the real world.
Updated to include references to the new curriculum, this book explores:
- The importance of subject knowledge in supporting children in language and literacy;
- Language knowledge within the context of authentic and meaningful texts, from fiction to ‘Facebook’;
- The links between subject knowledge and real teaching situations;
- New areas on talk and dialogic learning;
- Increased emphasis on ICT and cross-curricular study.
This book will appeal to all trainee and newly qualified teachers needing to achieve both the demands of subject knowledge for Qualified Teacher Status, and a firm understanding of the expectations of the National Curriculum for English.

Format:Paperback
It is quite simple, if you are a primary school teacher (or are about to be) or if you just have the slightest interest in the structure of language you must own this book. All the knowledge you are expected to impart on the little ones is here so that you do not forget it (we all know it happens from time to time). The difference between this book and others that fulfil the same purpose, is that this one is actually a lot of fun to read. This is the Harry Potter to other popular publishers Peter and Jane, and both of these get a mention. Put it in your shopping basket now and do not change your mind later.
