Persuasive Writing (Grades 4-8) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)As an English teacher, I keep my eyes open for EFFECTIVE writing helps. This book is a winner. My 4th and 5th grade students really like the activities. The interesting lesson plans are clearly written and require minimal prep time: reading and copying any required form. It certainly facilitates teaching/learning persuasive writing. My 4th/5th graders and I give it two thumbs up! I am looking forward to introducing it to my 6th and 7th graders. Undoubtedly it will be a hit with them also. I highly recommend this book.

German: A Self-Teaching Guide (Wiley Self-Teaching Guides) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have found this book's layout to be very clear and easy to follow. The introduction teaches in detail how German spelling are supposed to sound by providing english words that appoximate the sounds. This book seems to contain grammar lessons that are more extensive than those found in the popular "Teach Yourself" course. This book serves duly as a workbook in that you can write your answers to the exercises in the spaces provided and refer to the correct answers in the back of the book. My biggest gripe about the book is that there were no pictures. I love pictures!

Teach Yourself Spanish Complete Course Package (Book + 2CDs) (Teach Yourself Language Complete Courses) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have an earlier edition of this book, but I assume not much has been changed in this edition. This book is a good, solid introduction to Spanish. It's not a quick fix - there's lots of grammar, vocab., dialogues, etc., but if you're willing to spend some time reading, memorizing, and practicing, this book has most of what you need to know to begin speaking grammatically correct Spanish.
