Current situation; The changing and developing 'learning agenda;' Practical learning; Improving the learning of children's reading; Improving the learning of children's writing; Improving the learning of speaking and listening; Learning in English for different groups; Summary.

Dean shows teachers how to recognize and support children who show advanced skills in reading and writing, and explores effective ways in which these pupils can be assisted to develop linguistically.

This second edition adds to the original ideas in Geoff Dean's first book and includes new methods of teaching reading, including "guided reading" and using increased grammatical student knowledge.

This text supplements the training currently being offered to all secondary English departments. It offers a view of the place of the English "strand" in the overall Key Stage 3 strategy and gives support to English departments in their preparations for a new way of working.

This practical book is chiefly intended to help English teachers tackle an area of the new English programme that causes anxiety and about which a large proportion are still uncertain: grammar.
