Top Tips for Teaching Suave Words is an easy-to-read and easy-to-use manual for the purpose of expanding and enriching children’s vocabulary.

Not only does this book provide clear guidance on how and when teachers should introduce new, ambitious vocabulary, it also exemplifies a wide range of fun activities and games to embed the new language and enable children to use it appropriately.

It is aimed at pupils aged 5 to 13.

Our aim is to give pupils the gift of a wide and varied vocabulary so that they are empowered to make their own choices in talk and writing.
