Full Description
This 5-book series explains patterns found in the English language and provides varied opportunities for skills practice. Peter and Joan Moss, both experienced teachers, have produced a series for the junior school that communicates language concepts both clearly and colourfully. The authors never forget that the knowledge of the basic skills is just a means to an end. They provide opportunities for creative work and give guidance on how children can improve their writing techniques. There is comprehensive coverage of the nuts and bolts of the English language with explanatory full-colour illustrations, and stories, poems and examples for stimulate creative thinking. The numerous full-colour illustrations are integral to the series as they reinforce the text by giving visual explanations of basic language concepts. The combination of verbal and visual explanation should prove more memorable to children than the customary written statement of a rule.
