Product reviews for Opening Doors to Ambitious Primary English

I particularly enjoyed the section titled, ‘Key Points on Pitching High’ as it offered insights into strategies and skills that will support teachers in their planning, ensuring that highly pitched texts are the way forward in order to plan for quality lessons which enrich every child’s development. As such, enrich pupils’ learning with beautiful texts if you want them to become apt and intuitive writers.

It is so powerful reading first-hand the experiences teachers and leaders have had in their own school setting. This breaks down the stigma and fear of using ‘challenging texts’ and makes this accessible and achievable for all teachers, and all leaders nationwide. These case studies pave the way for better English being taught, where challenge is key, because ‘challenge’ therefore becomes the beating heart of our English curriculum.
