The Essential Speaking and Listening

This is a great book which I illustrated for the author, Lyn Dawes. "Talk is the medium through which children learn; and yet children may not realise why their contributions to classroom talk are so important. This book provides teachers with resources for developing children's understanding of speaking and listening, and their skills in using talk for learning."

Philip Pullman

I'm looking froward to hearing a lecture by Philip Pullman, to celebrate 40 years of the Open University tomorrow!
