Review Quotes: This book will be valuable reading for your Primary teaching students. It highlights the importance of reading for pleasure and suggests how teachers can balance the demands of the curriculum with high quality literature and reading for pleasure. As a result of research in chapter one our team of English lecturers are setting up an online book group to create a community of readers. The chapter on building diversity and inclusion is also an essential read.--Miss Hannah Chasteauneuf (8/16/2021 12:00:00 AM)
