500 Activities for the Primary Classroom
Highly commended in the ESU Duke of Edinburgh English Language Book Awards in 2007, 500 Activities has become a classic compendium of immediate ideas and solutions for teachers of pre-primary, primary and early secondary children.
“This rich compendium of activities will surely become required reading
for those teaching in the primary classroom.”
EL Gazette, Book of the Month, September 2007

“Carol Read combines many years’ experience with sound theoretical understanding and that rare ability to inform, support and inspire teachers through her writing. Within each chapter, she brings her expertise and experience as a teacher trainer to the main areas in primary EFL. Recognising that teachers are busy people, she provides concise summaries of the most important issues, without falling into the dangers of over-simplification or being patronising.”

“The value of 500 Activities lies not only in the wealth of practical and useful suggestions but also in the way the activities have been categorised into the ten sections and the clear guidance provided … with variations and educational objectives derived from the author’s wide experience of teaching both children and their teachers.”
