Recensione

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
