Industry Reviews
'Those of us particularly concerned with the English Curriculum will find the entries on 'creative writing', 'stories' and 'phonics' of interest. The attention to affective aspects of children's development - to feelings and relationships - also appeals and is particularly evident in entries on 'awe and wonder', 'curiosity' and 'trust.' - English 4-11 Summer 2010
