<p><strong>'... the book recognises that at the heart of the literacy hour is a wide range of texts, fiction and non-fiction. It provides support, encouragement, inspiration and new ideas to teachers to help them tackle these both in and out of the literacy hour.'</strong> - <em> The Times Educational Supplement</em></p>

Drawing on many popular and literary texts, the contributors to this book write with enthusiasm about opportunities for creative teaching and learning, and provide many examples of good practice both inside and outside the Literacy Hour
