Part of Phil Beadle's How To Teach Series.
Its author is an expert in teaching children how to speak and write
well, and has transformed the oral and written communication skills of
many thousands of students. In Literacy he shares how he does it and
what he knows about this most important of all skills and reveals what
every teacher needs to know in order to radically transform literacy
standards across the curriculum. The stories, anecdotes and insights
into the many practical activities in this book are, in turn, and often
in the same sentence, heart breaking, inspiring, shocking and, as ever,
funnier and more readable than those in an education book have any right
to be.
