Making Progress in English (Paperback)

This manual is designed for primary teachers with any length of experience at key stages 1 and 2. Covering all aspects of English, it helps teachers raise standards of achievement in pupils at all levels of fluency and confidence. The text incorporates case study material to relate theory to practical issues of classroom organization and management, and provides photocopiable formats for planning and developing ideas with colleagues and with children, as well as suggestions for teaching strategies and for evaluating teaching. Separate sections deal with reading, writing, speaking and listening and these different threads are drawn together in sections on knowledge about language - including spelling, grammar and punctuation. Each chapter also offers information on working with parents and linguistic and cultural diversity.
