In 1953 Vicars Bell published On Learning the English Tongue. And in 2018, I read it. Of course, some aspects of the book are dated, but overall it is relevant. I found it a surprisingly good read.

Elsewhere I shall post a summary. I find that the book and its ideas fit well within the literacy and numeracy embedding rant that I’m working on. There’s valuable material that I can use to refute some of the assumptions that underlie ‘modern’ educational theory.

I visited the Wikipedia article on VicarsBell and corrected the category in which this book was entered.
