Using Talk Effectively in the Primary Classroom by Richard Eke and John Lee, London, Routledge, 2008, 144 pp., £17.99 (paperback), ISBN 978-0-415-34281-0

The book is clearly structured, consisting of two sections. Initially, the book provides context, rationale and an articulation of the authors’ position, whilst the second section draws on the authors’ own research to provide ways in which primary student teachers and teachers might use and develop talk across some primary curriculum subjects in their practice.
