Books by Fred (Writer Sedgwick

Fred Sedgwick's new book discusses the literacy of children in the infant years. He takes the view that the child is an active learner when she arrives in school, and that it is the school's job to build on what the child already knows.

The lack of interest in reading for pleasure amongst large numbers of primary age pupils, put off by 'mechanical' worksheet-driven approaches, is a cause for major concern amongst education professionals and parents. This title illuminates and informs the teaching of literacy in the primary classroom and inspires children to a love of books.

This book studies the primary curriculum, subject by subject. It aims to help teachers develop Literacy Hour work which is enjoyable, to incorporate themes around personal, social and moral development and to assist in work in ICT.
