Synopsis
The teaching of literacy is a high priority for teachers and for governments, yet some of the approaches commonly used are very limiting, joyless and ultimately ineffective. In contrast, Fred Sedgwick shows how literacy can be combined with, and promoted through, a love of reading and children's ability to think and write creatively. Using a wide variety of rich resources, the author shows how to put creative approaches into practice and illustrates, through children's work, just how rewarding the results can be.
