This book is an essential guide for primary teachers that explores the key technical and practical aspects of how children read with strong links to theory and how to translate this into the classroom. Bite-size chapters offer accessible research-informed ideas across all major key topics including phonics, comprehension, teaching children with reading difficulties and strategies for the classroom. Key features include: * Discussions of implications for the classroom * Questions for further professional discussions * Retrieval quizzes * Further reading suggestions * Glossary of key terms Christopher Such is a primary school teacher and the author of the education blog Primary Colour.
