K.P. Hamill is an experienced senior teacher who is now semi-retired, now only completing selected primary teaching contacts during the year. He graduated from Townsville Teachers College in 1973 and has since then taught continuously until 2013. During his teaching career, he spent time mostly as an upper primary classroom teacher, as well as some time as a Teaching Principal of a small school, a relieving Deputy Principal in a larger school, and teaching in a Distance Education School. He produced an Alternative Numeracy Series for struggling students as well as a Social Science Program for Year 8 for the Distance Education School. In the past three years, he produced a series of digital Reading and Writing Activities based on novels being studied in English. The production of this book is based on his belief that is a need for a guide for developing and beginning teachers to give them a range of basic strategies to assist them in being successful and effective teachers.
