The book is divided into five sections for different age groups. Developmental theory, learning styles, lesson plans, timed activities, role descriptions, resource lists and excellent handouts provide everything you need to run your own education programme. The programmes in this book and the practical descriptions of how to deliver them have all been enthusiastically developed by the author, who also uses her own personal experience as a reference.
