This book will definitely be worth featuring on all of our reading lists for Core Primary English modules. It underpins many of the key principles of English teaching including the importance of teachers having a wide and up-to-date knowledge of children's literature in order to be able to engage and recommend books to children; the importance of reading aloud; drama and modelling reading and writing. Chapters feature interesting suggestions of children's books to use in the classroom and research which underpins each principle.
