Reviews of Philip Johnston's previous book, The Practice Revolution:

"...this book is perhaps in the top 1% of all the things I have ever recommended. Every sentence is new and important and this goes on for 321 pages...if teachers were to absorb the content there would, indeed, be a revolution in teaching and learning. Buy the book! "
