I have not been able to read the eCopy. A hard copy would have made it easier for me to read the copy.

This book is excellent support for BA Education students, not only in level 1 but into Level 2 as well. it is well written yet ideas are conveyed clearly so Level 1 students are happy to read it and they learn and understand some important ideas about education.
