Product Description

Review

Excellent as always, core text on course. --Lecturer, Swansea Metropolitan University

The range of topics is impressive, the information is accessible, with good examples and tasks, and the writing is clear. Nicely covers my units on the course but offers a wider range of information too. I encourage students to buy it. --Lecturer, University of Bedfordshire

This is a very accessible and informative text. It really gets to grips with the English subject knowledge that primary trainees need. --Lecturer, University of Durham

Product Description

A secure knowledge of primary English is essential for the trainee teacher. Clear subject knowledge and understanding is the foundation of confident, creative and effective teaching. Written to help trainee primary teachers develop and consolidate their knowledge of English, this fourth edition has been completely revised and updated. The text is structured around the current curriculum and incorporates the Primary National Strategy. All content is linked to the 2007 QTS Standards and new links are made to the Early Years Foundation Stage. Research Summaries include up-to-date references and new emphasis is put on links to primary modern foreign languages.

This book has a range of information on giving knowledge and understanding to those who wish to find out about all the different components of teaching primary English.

Soooooo it's definitely worth buuying to get your top marks in your english assignment and to acheive good teaching in schools!

If you are training to be a teacher but dont want to buy endless amounts of books from your booklists (like me) save yourself the trouble of worrying about subject knowledge and buy this book! This really is the bible for english and is a worthwhile purchase as you will use it throughout your career, not just in training! Other books you buy to read and then sell on can be a waste of money... These are not!

BUY IT!
