"Reading for Learning" is a series which develops pupils' ability to read, enjoy and use information books, and to research and write information texts themselves. Recognizing that all of us draw information from a myriad of sources, the series uses a wide range of text types to present serious cross-curricular information. For example, information on themes within science and social and environmental studies is presented through such genres as fairy stories, fables, fantasy, dialogue and real-life family stories, using narrative, magazine, catalogue and comic strip formats. Each of the Teacher's Resource Packs contains a general introduction to the complete level, including a detailed analysis of how to use "Reading for Learning" to teach the non-fiction side of the National Curriculum for English, plus grids showing the different processes and areas of the curriculum the series covers. It also includes photocopiable worksheets which guide the children through the skills of information retrieval and of researching and writing their own information.
This is a topic book which, through a good fairy and a bad fairy, shows Jenny and Mike the importance of cutlery, its history and how it is made.
