1.Jolly Stories (Jolly Phonics) by: Sue Lloyd, Sara Wernham September 01, 2007
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £14.95 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £9.79 You Save: £5.16 (35%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £48.85
I was keen to buy a book that would help my three year to not only learn the letters of the alphabet but to also learn the sounds using phonics as well. I thought buying this book would help. Instead, I found the characters dry and the plot of each story tiresome. Each sound has the letter written in black and white with arrows showing the way the word is to be written, which is helpful. Then in the margin, there are examples of words to match the letter sounds- but they are tiny. Hard to see let alone read. And I don't mean to be petty but the pictures look more freakish then cute. It was really difficult trying to get my daughter to sit and read the book, because she simply was not interested in the stories or characters ... Read More:

3.Five-Minute Activities: A Resource Book of Short Activities (Cambridge Handbooks for Language Teachers) by: Penny Ur, Andrew Wright February 06, 1992
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £14.60 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £14.58 You Save: £0.02 ( 0%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £9.99
This is great for any time of the year but more so when you need a quick start to a lesson or a change during a lesson. I use it sometimes as a pre-starter for the times when pupils aren't arriving all at the same time (after break or lunch). I also use it when I announce to the class "let's have a change as you are working extremely hard" little do they know I planned this and have already identified the activity! I have taught English in a 'good' school, a school where some pupils are very weak and more recently in a special school for EBD. It gets used in all of them! A fab resource not just for English teachers.

4.Alif Baa with DVDs: Introduction to Arabic Letters and Sounds by: Kristen Brustad, Mahmoud Al-Batal, Abbas Al-Tonsi 2004-08
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £23.50 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £23.49 You Save: £0.01 ( 0%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £17.10
I cannot talk highly enough about this series! I have been trying to learn Arabic independently over the last 6 months, in which time I have bought numerous books and dvds to help me. None of these compare to this one: the book is clearly layed out with exercises that are simple to understand and increase in difficulty as you progress through each step. The DVD puts Linguaphone's to shame: it has a menu that makes navigation easy, a variation of teaching techniques for all learners and the sound is of a good quality. I would highly recommend this to anyone trying to learn Arabic independently or with tuition. Al-kitaab fii ta allum al-arabiyya follows this book in the series and is equally as excellently written.

This is a lovely book with illustrations on each page and gutsy stories in each chapter. It is very nicely presented with a ribbon to use as a bookmark. My son is very fond of this book and regularly returns to it.

9.Introducing Phonetics and Phonology by: Mike Davenport, Stephen J. Hannahs April 29, 2005
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £17.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £17.09 You Save: £0.90 ( 5%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £14.99
In my view, this book is the best introductory textbook to the fascinating fields of Phonetics and Phonology currently available. As a mature undergraduate studying Linguistics, with no A Level English Language under my belt, I had no prior knowledge of the areas this book covers, and as such was disadvantaged in comparison to the other students who had done the A Level. However I soon found, with the aid of this worthy publication, that the playing field had been levelled. This is not to say that this was the only book at this level that I read. In fact, I have at least four others in my collection. Why this one stands out is because of its clear and informative style, understandable examples, and sensible, logical layout. Initially ...

10.Phonetics: The Science of Speech by: Martin Ball, Joan Rahilly October 29, 1999
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £19.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £18.99 You Save: £1.00 ( 5%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £21.40
This is simply the best book to introduce phonetics that I have read. Recommended by my university tutor, this book explains everything in an easy to understand, simple way and then progresses to more advanced levels. Plenty of illustrative diagrams, you do not have to be a linguistics/phonetics student ot expert to enjoy this as it is written in a style that all can comprehend. 5 stars and well deserved!!!!!
