Primary Texts for Primary Teachers
I am a primary school teacher who has nearly ten years experience of being a literacy co-ordinator on the senior management team. I trained at Westhill College, Birmingham qualifying in 1994 and have taught at several schools in Birmingham and Sandwell. I love teaching and writing; throughout my years as a teacher I have written stories, plays and produced a variety of teaching materials.
My first two books provide a collection of exemplary texts that cover the different genres of writing across Key Stage 2. They are in print and available as pdfs on the accompanying CD-Rom.
