Teaching children to develop as language users is one of the most important tasks of a primary teacher. This book shows teachers how a more explicit knowledge of language can enrich their own and their children's spoken English and their reading and writing of a range of texts.

This book shows how to deliver a progressive and holistic embedded language curriculum. It provides guidance on inclusive approaches for students with English as an additional language, including native speakers in the target language as well as language awareness activities that maximise links with learning in English.

Now including a new introduction from the author, this major work from one of England's finest living writers is essential reading for all those who care about the creation and appreciation of literature.

This accessible satellite textbook in the Routledge Intertext explores the nature of the electronic word and presents the new types of text in which it is found.
