The Power of the Page by Pat Pinsent
First Published in 1994. This series of books is aimed primarily at student and practising teachers. It covers key issues in current educational debate relating to age phases, school management, the curriculum and teaching methods. Each volume examines the topic critically, bringing out the practical implications for teachers and school organisation. The texts which are discussed in Part One of the present book, 'The Picture and the Story', are ones which can be enjoyed many times, by child and adult ~ because they have a wealth of different meanings, reinforcing and cutting across each other.
