A sound text which is methodical in approach. The second edition does update things well, in particular in relation to the emerging evidence base. However it may not represent best value for those students who have already purchased the first edition. For those who do not have the first edition this text remains highly recommended.

A skillfully written book which directs its reader to solutions instead of problems. Easy to read and very good for qualified and trainee teachers.
