Lesson planning in line with the new Primary National Curriculum

Why do we teach children to read? It is not merely to decode the words. We teach them to derive meaning from the text, to comprehend it. To not just read the lines, but to read between the lines and even read beyond the lines. So how can you make teaching comprehension in primary schools effective and engaging? How are you ensuring that children are finding meaning in what they read and how do we support more able readers to learn more? What does a good 'reading' lesson look like? This book...

A story of Magic and adventure, friendship and family, deceit and treachery... The realm is in turmoil, the creatures of the land don't know which way to turn. Is the bond of friendship strong enough to overcome what looms ahead, like a darkness that threatens to engulf all who stand in its way...?

The book covers research, theory and practical application of developing higher level readers within the primary classroom.
