Primary English in Action

Designed to link research with real world classroom applications, the In Action series provides an accessible outline of key theories which teachers can then apply to their practice in their own unique settings. The writers of each of the In Action books are all either serving teachers or teachers who have taught for many years; this means the books’ focus are grounded in the reality of teaching children in real classrooms.

“Every page offers practical ideas and suggestions, alongside a clear vision for what English can be when planned and taught effectively.”
Jon Biddle – Primary teacher and Reading for Pleasure advocate

“Primary English In Action has reminded me just why I love English as a subject and why I think it’s the most vital part of a child’s education. I’m now scrabbling around to create a list of people I need to buy a copy for.”
Dean Boddington – Assistant Headteacher and Reading specialist

“Kate brings together research, curriculum expertise and the realities of busy classrooms in a way that is both practical and inspiring. Her belief that speaking, reading and writing should be woven together, rather than taught as isolated strands, reflects the very best of primary practice”
Toria Bono – Year 4 leader and English Champion
