This a book packed with practical ideas and strategies designed to intertwine literacy and numeracy across the curriculum, with the aim of improving both. The author's concept of 'manglish' has evolved into a way of creating a school curriculum that allows pupils to experience reading, writing, communication and maths 'purposefully in every lesson'. Furthermore, pupils experiencing the manglish curriculum should feel there is a point to everything they learn, and be motivated to take their studies to the next level. The author provides an antidote to the prevailing exam culture, where pupils are geared towards a single goal. Instead she purports a more holistic approach, whereby pupils ultimately achieve more by seeing the purpose behind what they are learning.
