A must-have for all trainee primary teachers- By: , 27 Jan 2004 This book is core reading for my course & 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 & Understanding', will fully prepare you for QTS. My advice is: buy it now!a must for all primary teachers- By: , 13 May 2003 I found this book very useful. I am at university training to be a primary school teacher & found everything i needed to knowin the book. It benefits teachers who are already qualified with their teaching. I found the content useful for my assignments & would strongly recommend it. This really is a must for all primary teachers.
