In the home - Kath Cox

The book compares historical photographs of homes and the families living in them, from the turn of the century with equivalant modern photographs.

By comparing photographs from the past and present, children are able to develop observation skills, ask questions, and discuss their ideas. Supporting information on the photographs, differentiated text and a picture glossary allow the book to be used on a number of levels by children, teachers and parents.

Kath Cox is Senior lecturer at Liverpool Institute of Higher Education and ia a former primary school teacher.
