For L3 PTLLS it is an essential read. For L4 it is an essential read with other texts to support.
The Tables are particularly good summaries and for some students, a better way to read so much text.
Some language eg Dyslexic student may be reviewed ie Student with Dyslexia?
Overall, an essential read and resource. Thanks again for a good book.

Much improved on previous versions! Rather a lot of bullet point lists but useful to support struggling students.

A comprehensive resource to inform the learner of the necessary knowledge for PTLLS. I like the logical set out and the examples provided along the way help to consolidate learning.
This book is in sufficient detail not to overload the beginner teacher.
