Essential reading for the primary classroom
About English 4-11
First published in 1991 as Primary English, the journal was re-named in 1997 to reflect its increasing range of coverage.
It is a joint publication of the English Association and the United Kingdom Literacy Association.
Why not subscribe to the only journal dedicated to literacy in the primary classroom?
You will receive three issues each academic year (Autumn, Spring, Summer) packed with:
- material produced by, and for, the classroom teacher
- practical resources
- successful projects
- reviews of books, videos, software and other resources.
