Miles Tandy and Jo Howell are advisers with Warwickshire’s Educational Development Service, UK. They have written widely about drama and literacy, and their publications include Creating Writers in the Primary Classroom (Routledge, 2008) and Beginning Drama (Routledge, 2008).

'This highly practical book aims to provide a wide range of ideas for teaching drama and guidance for putting the ideas into practice. The sessions themselves are laid out in a very clear and easy to follow fashion. The authors show themselves to be familiar with the resources and opportunities commonly available in most schools. The result is a collection of accessible and imaginative approaches with enough material to keep any Key Stage 2 teacher and her class happy for a very long time.' - www.dramaresource.com'This is an invaluable, sensibly organised, down-to-earth guide to the integration of drama into every aspect of the KS2 curriculum--of particular importance given the increasing and long overdue emphasis on creativity in our schools. It is a text that serves the needs of experienced members of staff as well as those of NQTs. It should feature on every staff development library bookshelf and I would suggest that it would provide a really stimulating starting point for every staff or year group meeting throughout the year.' - National Association for the Teaching of English
