A must-have for all trainee primary teachersJanuary 27, 2004 20 out of 20 found this review helpful
This book is core reading for my course and has been an invaluable guide. It covers everything you need to know from how children learn language to how to be successful at assessment. It includes useful research summaries, interesting practical tasks all of which help develop understanding. There are lots of 'classroom stories' where real examples are used to illuminate theory. I found these to be particuarly useful as they demonstrate how to apply abstract theory to practice. As I am training to be a teacher not at educational theorist this connection is vital. This is a easy-to-understand, practical text which, along with it's sister book 'Primary English - Knowledge and Understanding', will fully prepare you for QTS. My advice is: buy it now!
a must for all primary teachersMay 13, 2003 14 out of 14 found this review helpful
I found this book very useful. I am at university training to be a primary school teacher and found everything i needed to know in the book. It benefits teachers who are already qualified with their teaching. I found the content useful for my assignments and would strongly recommend it. This really is a must for all primary teachers.
