| “This
is a book with something of use and interest for anyone
involved in education… well worth buying and
reading!"
Kathy Alcock,
Child Education
"It
offers sound, accessible practical advice from a wide
range of experts…reasserting education as a
life-enhancing process, rather than the mere pursuit
of ‘standards’.”
Sue Palmer,
author and literacy consultant
“A
remarkable new publication… offering
strategies and activities with real ‘soul’ which
might be missing from the school curriculum.”
