'As someone engaged in teacher education, I strongly recommend this book to all student teachers at primary level...and to practising teachers new to drama' Research in Drama Education This third edition of Beginning Drama 4 - 11 is fully updated and revised in light of the renewed Framework for Teaching Literacy, and provides an introduction for early years and primary school teachers who are new to drama and for student teachers who wish to specialise in the teaching of drama.
