Fun With Sounds and Rhymes offers a variety of activities which will help children to read. Sounds are important because they link how we say words to how we decode them on the page. Rhymes are important because they show there are patterns of sounds associated with patterns of letters. The activities are designed to develop visual perception of individual letter shapes, association of letters with sounds, the difference between different sounds at the beginning and endings of words, and the anticipation of common sequences of letters and words. Previously published as At Home with Sounds and Rhymes, this new title has been fully revised and updated to ensure it is in line with current Foundation Stage Profile requirements. The design has been improved to make the activities very clear and easy to follow. |

Whether your child is learning English or Russian, Oxford First Russian Words gives your child a head start in learning another language by taking a picture-book journey through a day, with familiar settings, everyday things, and cute little dinosaurs. There is a bird's eye view of getting ready for school in the morning, the journey to school, inside the classroom, a birthday party, and even a trip to the seaside. Over 400 Russian words and their English translations are given next to their illustrations, on every page. There is also an expertly-levelled supplementary section at the back — a picture/word matching game, counting the ladybirds up to twenty, shapes, opposites, weather, time, and a comprehensive index. The David Melling (The Kiss that Missed, Fidget and Quilly) illustrations make this an adorable first bilingual word book. |

Toddlers and parents everywhere will recognize Small Rabbit's lack of enthusiasm as the story opens. He just doesn't want to go for a walk and he comes up with all sorts of excuses to stay indoors. But Big Rabbit is having none of it. She bundles him into his coat and out they go, with Small Rabbit shivering and grumbling as he shuffles along. Perhaps it's because he's too far behind Big Rabbit, perhaps it's because the wind is howling, but when Big Rabbit says, 'Try to keep up!' what Small Rabbit hears is 'Jump in the mud!' And so he does. In fact everything Big Rabbit says-thanks to the wind-turns from a rather humdrum instruction into something much more exciting and Small Rabbit finds himself having a really wild time. Becoming muddier by the moment, and causing more and more mayhem, Small Rabbit romps ahead. Big Rabbit's last instruction, as Small Rabbit bounds home to their burrow is, 'Please don't go inside!' (she's worried about muddy footprints and leaves all over her lovely clean burrow). But Small Rabbit thinks she's asking him to find somewhere to hide and the story ends with a resounding 'Boo!' from Small Rabbit as he jumps from his hiding place into Big Rabbit's arms, declaring 'Windy walks are lots of fun!' |

New Headway English Course takes the successful Headway series into an exciting new era. It introduces new features to challenge adult and young adult students and ensure that learning English is interesting and motivating. The course combines the best of traditional methods with more recent approaches, to help students use English both accurately and fluently. Learners at the upper-intermediate level require a different approach. It is no longer appropriate to examine language items in isolation. In New Headway Upper-Intermediate, grammatical areas are treated in greater depth so that students begin to perceive the systems that underlie the language. This new upper-intermediate course provides around 120 hours of language learning. It follows on from New Headway Intermediate, and together with Headway Elementary, Headway Pre-intermediate, and Headway Advanced, provides a fully comprehensive language teaching series. Key features: • New, universal topics selected from a wide variety of sources, including authentic listening texts. • In-depth treatment of grammar Each unit starts with a Test your grammar section, followed by Language in context, where students work out rules through Grammar questions. The Practice Bank provides a choice of wide-ranging exercises and the Grammar Reference gives detailed rules of form and use. • The grammar of spoken English is examined, with work on areas such as being polite, linking and commenting, adverbs, exaggeration and understatement, and lexis in discourse. • Thorough skills syllabus All four skills are developed systematically and integrated through related tasks. • Well-defined lexical syllabus with work on systems such as collocation, binomials, homonyms, and compounds. • Pronunciation practice is integrated at appropriate points throughout the units. • Everyday English is practiced in the Postscript section. |

The best material I've seen at this level: — Motivating, real-world text. — Grammar bank with rules and exercises. — Illustrated Vocabulary Bank and Sound Bank. — Practical English focus on everyday language. |

The novel is dominated by two of the finest creations in all Victorian fiction — Marian Halcombe, dark, mannish, yet irresistibly fascinating, and Count Fosco, the sinister and flamboyant 'Napoleon of Crime'. A masterwork of intricate construction, The Woman in White set new standards for suspense and excitement, and achieved sales which topped even those of Dickens, Collins's friend and mentor. |
