Originally published in 1995. This book reviews the current situation concerning the teaching of 'English' in schools, examining particularly the notion of 'literacy'. The authors offer practical suggestions to primary and secondary teachers, proposing ways in which the teaching of children's literature (and that of adolescence and youth) may be addressed across Key Stages and at A-level. They relate theory to practise, and offer a critique of government proposals.
