Books by Mal (University of Nottingham Leicester

Takes a different approach to cross-curricular teaching in the primary classroom. Providing eight original adventure stories, this title builds up a suite of resources and activities for teachers to use in the classroom.

Shows how to make use of the learning power of story for young children. This book includes stories that aim to stimulate the child's interest; and acts as a springboard to related learning games designed to develop children's skills in the six foundation areas of learning: personal, social and emotional development; communication, and more.

By emphasising the importance of 'the story' as a springboard to learning, this practical book for teachers consists of 15 learning sessions for use as one-hour classroom lessons or as the basis for a school assembly, pitched at the 4 - 8-year-old.

This fun new resource is full of lively stories, poems and songs. It can be dipped into for ideas and activities to encourage active and responsible participation, to stimulate discussion and to enhance literacy skills and citizenship education.
