I like the way it supports developing subject knowledge in a very logical, easy to access way. I also like how it links with reading comprehension and makes use of research based evidence. - Diana Parton, University of BedfordshireThe book is clear and explains well. It does have critical questions which helps offset the 'on message' tone of it. - Deborah Nicholson, Bath Spa University
