Simon Hall, Sparkle Academy Trust, had this to say:

"In recent years educational publishing has been preoccupied with theory and pedagogy. These may well help teachers improve their overall practice but what is also needed is a framework of ideas that are workable and can be used effectively within the classroom. What the author has successfully managed to do is avoid prolonged discussion surrounding the rhetoric of Speaking and Listening The reader is taken straight onto the books main substance which is to provide a bank of 70 ideas to get children talking. You could quite literally flick through the pages, stop at any point and use the given theme for classroom input. It is refreshing to read a book that is so practical. It's strength is in its simplicity. A top publication!".

Not just for teachers, as one parent wrote:

"Tonight has been debate number 17, which has led to a conversation about the hitchhikers guide to the galaxy, the cow that wants you to eat it!!! It's absolutely fantastic where the conversation ends up. We all say something different every time. A++++++".
