Very good for the Primary Ed and Supporting Learning modules.

I would recommend this book as it looks at all of the varied primary curriculum areas, giving advice about how to provide a more creative pedagogy for the classroom. I like the fact that the reader can use this for reference going straight to the chapter that they are interested in, rather than having to skim read the whole book.
Useful resource. Recommended text for Whole Curriculum Studies.
The book is presented in an easy to read format, that incorporates case studies throughout the chapters to help consolidate knowledge and understanding across the issues raised. It is good that the reference list is positioned at the end of each chapter as opposed to the end of the book itself, as this supports direct access to further research.
