Thinking it Through allows teachers to customize lesson plans to meet their own needs using the book's downloadable resources as well as assess pupils language abilty with handy photocopiable assessment worksheets. The book will help each child reach their full potential regardless of ability using ideas for differentiation and extension and structure lessons according to national curriculum objectives.
