  • Magnetic Ridged Upper Case Lette...

    $43.95

    Magnetic Ridged Upper Case Letters Pk 120: These sturdy plastic magnetic letters have a ridge on them to allow children to trace their finger over the letter shape which helps with letter formation as children learn to write. The letters have been designed to include a high quality magnet that sticks securely to magnetic whiteboards. The letters are in print font and therefore slightly smaller than standard magnetic letters. Hence facilitating word and sentence building on student whiteboards. The breakdown of the 120 letters in the set is based on the frequency of use of each letter in the English language. The upper case letters range from approximately 2.3 cm to 4.7 cm in height and 0.5 cm to 3.6 cm in width. Letters are also supplied in 3 bright colours in a small durable plastic tub.

    Suitable for children ages 3+ years.

  • Thinking Reading : What every se...

    $34.99

    Despite the efforts of teachers and educators, every year secondary schools across the English-speaking world turn out millions of functionally-illiterate leavers. The costs in human misery and in wasted productivity are catastrophic. What can schools do to prevent this situation?

    In their highly-accessible new book, James and Dianne Murphy combine more than 50 years of experience to provide teachers with a thorough, easy-to-use walk-through of the extensive research on reading and its effects on student achievement. Drawing on the work of experts from around the world, the authors explore how we learn to read, how the many myths and misconceptions around reading developed, and why they continue to persist.

    Building on these foundations, chapters go on to examine how the general secondary school classroom can support all levels of reading more effectively, regardless of subject; how school leaders can ensure that their systems, practices and school culture deliver the very best literacy provision for all students; and what it takes to ensure that a racing intervention aimed at adolescent struggling readers is truly effective.

    The overall message is one of great optimism: the authors demonstrate that the right of every child to learn to read is entirely achievable if schools employ the best research-driven practice.

    Uncovering the Logic of English ...

    $55.00

    Uncovering the Logic of English helps educators break the complex code of English with simple rules. 

    Award-winning author Denise Eide demonstrates the effectiveness of systematic phonics to develop a transformed understanding of high-frequency words, sight words, decodable words, and irregular words.

    Written in an engaging and easy-to-follow style, Uncovering the Logic of English sheds light on our society’s literacy crisis and provides a wealth of reading and spelling tools to help any student succeed. 

    This book is suitable for teachers looking to expand their reading curriculum, adults struggling with spelling, English Language Learners who want to improve their pronunciation, and parents teaching their children at home.

    Uncovering the Logic of English challenges the notion that English is illogical by revealing the logical patterns underlying 98% of English words and explaining: 

    • 75 phonograms and 31 spelling rules that can be used to explain 98% of English words
    • How English words are formed and how this knowledge can revolutionize vocabulary development
    • That understanding the reasons behind English spelling prevents students from needing to guess

    Grounded in the latest linguistic and reading research, Uncovering the Logic of English demonstrates why the phonogram approach, with accurate spelling rules, should be as foundational to our education system as 1 + 1 = 2.

    But what if the problem is not the language itself, but the rules we were taught? What if we could see the complexity of English as a powerful tool rather than a hindrance?  Denise Eide

    Uncovering the Logic of English introduces the phonograms and rules that are taught in the Logic of English® Foundations and Essentials series.
