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.
