How do children learn to spell and what kinds of teaching support them most effectively? Based on a three-year longitudinal study of children's spelling in different primary classrooms, Olivia O'Sullivan, Assistant Director of the Centre for Literacy in Primary Education and Anne Thomas, the former Inset Director of the Centre for Literacy in Primary Education, pose a number of important questions: what kinds of knowledge are involved in spelling? what are the links between learning to read and learning to spell? what kinds of systematic teaching and interventions make a difference to children's progress? Packed with case studies, photographs and examples of children’s work, this unique book sets out the most effective approaches to spelling and provides teachers with a broad set of principles on which to base their teaching. This is an invaluable resource for any teacher or trainee teacher wishing to raise standards in spelling in their classroom.

A book with true life stories and poems that have been fictionalised. Some themes have a disturbing aura of sex, violence and abuse of women and children. Other stories are full of love and romance, where some themes have comedic properties and adult language and scenes that are not suitable for children and under 18s. Other stories have themes of gang culture or the occult and the devil, which may be disturbing to some readers. All of these creations are purely and completely from the author. Influences that created the different ideas are from her native Glaswegian upbringing in various Glasgow inner city townships, including, Dennistoun, Maryhill, The Gorbals, The Milton, Easterhouse, Carntyne, Ruchazie, Garthamlock, the East End of Glasgow in Shettleston where she worked as a secretary, in Baillieston where she was a bar-maid and in the city and Lanarkshire where she worked as a recruitment consultant, works administrator and senior journalist for Trinity Mirror and Media Scotland.
