This is one of the launch for a new series designed to address topical issues and present up-to-date theory in primary teaching in a serious, but early accessible way. The book looks at recent innovations in the teaching of literacy and shows how they can be implemented to meet the new English requirements. The author takes a broad perspective, dealing with such topics as pre-school concepts of print, the importance of story, the link between auditory discrimination and reading and spelling, and supporting the more and less able child. The book is practical, providing not only a discussion of the issues involved, but also offering practical strategies and ideas for teachers and parents. Calling upon her own experience in the classroom, Margaret Clark illustrates her points with good classroom practice, examples of children's work and transcriptions.
