She died in 2017, writing, reviewing and supporting the journal\u003cem\u003e English 4-11\u003c\/em\u003e to the end. She was a Fellow of the English Association. After a number of years teaching in primary schools she studied at the London University Institute of Education and at Sussex University. She then spent two years on a SSRC research project, English in the Middle Years of Schooling, writing its published report. Thereafter she was a member of the Goldsmith's College Education Department for nearly thirty years. There her first concern was always for the students in her care but where she also spent much time thinking and writing about the importance of non-fiction learning in the early and primary years. In retirement she wrote two books which her former students had suggested would have helped them: this book and the \u003cem\u003ePrimary English Encyclopedia\u003c\/em\u003e, now in its fifth edition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrue Goodwin\u003c\/strong\u003e is a freelance lecturer in literacy and children's books.

His only published work, unsurprisingly, concerned bank accounting, auditing and regulation. However, much more pleasurably, he also read every word Margaret published. His role was to confirm inter alia, as a beginner in the field, that 'meaning' was crisply conveyed, there was no ambiguity and assertions were evidence-based. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 426\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.1 x 9.6 x 6.8 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 12, 2019\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42127534882951,"sku":"9781138501805","price":79.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/9335241ea682844bf843e3fa8d9de4c0.webp?v=1732589199","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/choosing-and-using-fiction-and-non-fiction-3-11-a-comprehensive-guide-for-teachers-and-student-teachers-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
