Review "There is much of interest to be found in the book and will prove particularly useful to those working within the primary sector." SNIPThe authors...summarise published research and their own findings in seven schools, and address how adults use language and how to simplify it. This handbook provides a practical, efficient way to develop a fundamental skill. I would have no hesitation in recommending it. (Bulletin, the official magazine of the Royal College of Speech and Language Therapists, July 2010)'This accessible book defines good listening, explains why it is important, offers a clear programme to explicitly teach it, and also the means to clarify with both children and parents what listening is all about. Outcomes exceeded expectations during the preliminary trials done by the authors and I am sure the same would be true in any situation where this advice is followed.'
