520 |a ""Every teacher in English is a teacher of English, "" said George Sampson, one of the early school inspectors, back in 1921. It's never been truer, or more relevant. Literacy has a major impact on young people's life-chances and it is every teacher's responsibility to help build their communication, reading and writing skills.

This book shows every tea.
