Making sense of what a teacher observes in the classroom is vital to their development as a new teacher and a fundamental aspect of high-quality literacy teaching. By providing real-life case studies that analyse what underpins interactions between teachers and children, this book will help them understand literary learning processes and develop their own practice.
Key features of this second edition include:

A new chapter on teaching grammar, spelling and punctuation
Links to the National Curriculum in England and the Curriculum for Excellence in Scotland
Expanded discussion on teaching phonics
Clear guidance on how to undertake assessment without levels.

Industry Reviews

This new edition of a well-written and informative book will provide an excellent introduction to the teaching of English in primary settings. The inclusion of up-to date reference to material on assessment without levels and the teaching of grammar, spelling and punctuation is key. Each chapter provides examples of lessons that are inspiring and practical. In particular, the chapter on difficult aspects of grammar should give confidence to trainee and recently qualified teachers alike.
