It demands not only knowledge and understanding of the core areas of learning, but also the ability to teach these creatively and effectively and foster learner creativity in the process. The Learning to Teach in the Primary School Series draws upon recent research, which indicates the rich potential of creative teaching and learning, and explores what it means to teach creatively in the primary phase. It also responds to the evolving nature of subject teaching in a wider, more imaginatively framed twenty-first century primary curriculum.  \nDesigned to complement the textbook Learning to Teach in the Primary School, the well-informed, lively texts offer support for students and practising teachers who want to develop more flexible and responsive creative approaches to teaching and learning. The books highlight the importance of the teachers’ own creative engagement and share a wealth of innovative ideas to enrich pedagogy and practice.  \nTitles in the series:  \nTeaching English Creatively  \nTeresa Cremin  \nTeaching Science Creatively  \nDan Davies and Ian Milne  \nTEACHING ENGLISH CREATIVELY  \nTeresa Cremin with Eve Bearne, Henrietta Dombey and Maureen Lewis  \nFirst published 2009  \nby Routledge  \n2 Park Square, Milton Park, Abingdon, Oxon OX14 4RN Simultaneously published in the USA and Canada by Routledge  \n270 Madison Avenue, New York, NY 10016  \nRoutledge is an imprint of the Taylor & Francis Group, an informa business This edition published in the Taylor & Francis e-Library, 2009.  \nTo purchase your own copy of this or any of Taylor & Francis or Routledge’s  \ncollection of thousands of [eBooks please go to www.eBookstore.tandf.co.uk](eBooks please go to www.eBookstore.tandf.co.uk).  \n© 2009 Teresa Cremin for text, editing and selection.
