Reviews

"""In On the Write Track, James Clements offers writing scheme-weary primary educators something refreshingly simple, sensible and well-researched. He argues for several pathways (or in his words, a number of ‘tracks’) teachers can choose to take with their students, responding and using their professional judgment wisely... On the Write Track is worth reading and using for all primary teachers due to its equal balance of depth and accessibility."" - Robbie Burns, Schools Week"
