Description
An accessible and practical guide to teaching reading - with the distinctive trademark title, well known for the down to earth and humorous style. Although reading is essential for every National Curriculum subject, very little attention has been paid to the teaching of reading, especially in secondary schools. Following the winning formula of Getting the Buggers to Behave, this practical guide shows teachers how they can improve children's reading skills. Brimming with top tips and innovative strategies, this book will prove extraordinarily helpful to teachers everywhere.
