Teaching Literacy Effectively in the Primary School (Language and Literacy in Action) - Softcover

'This is a topical review, based on new research on the highly sensitive and critical issue of how teachers teach literacy effectively.' - Brigid Smith, Homerton College, Cambridge

This book discusses the implications arising from the authors' research into what constitutes an effective teacher of literacy. They have been able to identify what effective teachers know, understand and do which enable them to put effective teaching of literacy into practice in the primary phase. By identifying the strategies used by these teachers, the authors show how these can be applied by other primary teachers to improve their teaching of literacy.
