A review
This is an excellent book both for the teacher and student of education alike. It is clear cut and down to earth. The language is accessible and the information contained therein invaluable. There are ideas for tick sheets, handy for assessment and charts that are an aid to identification as well as many other essential ideas for good classroom practice. The one fault I found with the book is the referencing, I would have liked to follow up some of the information, but a detailed referencing list was not given. Nevertheless a good value for money book
