At Home With Punctuation is a fun activity workbook for children, aged 7-9 years, to do at home. Using different themes and a variety of progressive tasks such as filling in missing words and punctuation marks, copying, and building sentences, children learn about the correct use of commas, apostrophes, speech marks, contractions, capital letters, and much more. The 2-colour illustrations and highlighted words encourage development of literacy skills in a fun and easy way. The illustrated step-by-step activities are age-appropriate for children to work through on their own, or equally perfect to do together with an adult giving encouragement. Useful tips support adults so that they can encourage learning gently — plus there are more than enough funky stickers to reward your child as they complete each activity! This book is ideal to build confidence in writing at primary school. |

The Oxford Very First Dictionary introduces children aged 4+ to the features of a dictionary in an appealing way. The dictionary has over 300 familiar words each with a simple definition and an illustration which reinforces the definition. There are also pages of topic-themed vocabulary at the back of the book, all illustrated too. Each page is clearly laid out so it is easy to pick out the main features — the alphabet down the side of the page, the letter of the page you are on in red. These are key features that young children come across as they start their non-fiction reading. A lovely extra for this age level is the illustrated opening letter — A shows a juicy apple, B shows some buzzing bees. A great introduction to the world of dictionaries. |

«Show and Tell taps into children's natural curiosity, asking a question such as «who makes you happy?» or «what do our senses tell us?» as the focus for each unit. Activities encourage children to explore the question while learning the language they need to think and talk about it. End-of-unit class projects consolidate learning and encourage children to work collaboratively. Opportunities to «Show and Tell» allow them to present their projects in class or at home, and to talk about what they have learned — in English! Stories, hand-eye coordination practice and letter formation activities lead to reading and writing simple sentences. Problem-solving activities encourage children to think critically and creatively. Values lessons teach children how to behave both inside and outside the classroom.» |

«Texts must be interesting enough for students to want to read them in their own language. Otherwise, how can we expect students to want to read them in English?» This is the authors' golden rule when they choose texts and topics for every level of American English File. It ensures you get material that learners will enjoy reading and will want to talk about. Texts such as 'Could you live without money?' really help to generate opinion and discussion. They create a desire to communicate. Having created the desire, American English File then helps you to develop learners' communication skills. One way it does this is with a strong focus on pronunciation. Research shows that poor pronunciation is a major contributor to breakdowns in communication (Jennifer Jenkins: The Phonology of English as an International Language). American English File integrates pronunciation into every lesson — the 'little and often' approach. But that's not all. The unique English File Sounds Chart puts a picture to each sound in the phonetic alphabet, so learners find it easier to remember the sounds and, ultimately, improve their pronunciation.» |
