Teaching Through Texts: Promoting Literacy Through Popular and Literary Texts in the Primary Classroom
Review
'... the book recognises that at the heart
of the literacy hour is a wide range of texts, fiction and non-fiction.
It provides support, encouragement, inspiration and new ideas to
teachers to help them tackle these both in and out of the literacy
hour.' -
