This book recognises the importance of two things: first, that for effective learning to occur, teachers must 'tune in' to children's strengths and needs; second, that they must teach!

This is a practical book. It outlines strategies and procedures being used successfully in many classroom programs and includes samples of 'work in progress'. It helps teachers to plan strategy lessons that in turn provide evaluation contexts, making evaluation a continuous process rather than an isolated event.

This book clearly shows how skills can be taught in context.
