Summary "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 required to implement the revised National Curriculum Orders for English from September 1995, proposing ways in which the teaching of children's literature and that of adolescence and youth may be addressed across all four Key Stages and at 'A' level. They relate theory to good practice and offer a critique of the latest government proposals, suggesting alternative and sometimes radical approaches to teaching." "It is the intention of the authors that this book should offer teachers sound, practical models which they will consider and find useful as they grapple with the challenges posed as education moves towards the year 2000."--BOOK JACKET
