Teaching Children 3-11

′Teaching Children 3 - 11: A Student′s Guide is a great overview guide to the most important elements that you need to know about for teaching in the Primary and Early Years phase. It′s an easy to read starter text with well thought through references to other work so that the reader is guided through the plethora of literature′
- Sara Bubb

′This book has something for all students, combining theory with useful, practical advice. Issues I know students often find challenging, such as behaviour management, making the most of the tutor′s visit and working with other adults are all included... a worthwhile investment for students on any ITT course′

I had really liked the look of the chapter headings in this book when I first requested it. It seemed to be offering discussion on areas which are often not considered in general primary texts.
I have however been a little disappointed with the level of discussion offered and the often old non mainstream references used to inform chapters. I was hoping to use the chapter on reflective practice for the year 4 BA students but when I read it I did not think it it was sufficiently detailed to use compared with other texts available.
Perhaps this would be better for the year 1,2 students as a starting point. -- Dr Ruth Dann * drupal *
I highly recommended this book for my students , it is a God sent. The authors have fully covered most of the essential topics where the information are not readily avaible. As a textbook, it provides opportunity for students to critically reflect and see where theory can be applied. Each chapter is well summarised and provide a quick scan for vital information. -- Dr Seidu Salifu * drupal *
