'Written in a clear, accessible tone, Papen gives us a larger picture of school literacy through a bird’s view of a classroom and she does so with grace and without judgement. Papen is political in a gentle way, balanced in an informed way, and practical in an ideological way. This is an important book that sits on both sides of the reading wars.' Jennifer Rowsell, Brock University, Canada 'This book sets out to identify the gains and losses from organising literacy teaching that follows the current policy emphasis on synthetic phonics. The books’ particular contribution is the emphasis it gives to the diversity of the literacy curriculum and the opportunities it affords to engage in reading and writing for a purpose.' Gemma Moss, University of Bristol, UK
