Learning to Read
A complete basic reading course for young children, 'Learning to Read' can also help older learners who still have serious gaps in their grasp of essential English phonetics.
English Spelling Explained
In every English-speaking country, roughly one in six children find it impossible to learn to read and write well enough to cope with secondary schooling or the literacy demands of modern life. This failure tends to be blamed, predominantly, on poor teaching and inadequate parenting. Government ministers put teachers under relentless pressure to improve their methods and raise standards. They also run expensive media campaigns to encourage parents to get more involved in their children's education. Masha Bell believes that the main cause of the relatively high levels of literacy failure in all English-speaking countries are the irregularities of English spelling. She explains how they make learning to read and write exceptionally difficult and time-consuming. She also traces the chief causes of English spelling inconsistencies and makes some suggestions for coping with them and for reducing them.
Rules and Exceptions of English Spelling
Native English speakers are taught English spelling rules and the spellings of over 3,000 common words which disobey them, yet many still make numerous spelling errors. This book helps poor spellers to improve their skills by showing readers exactly what learning to spell actually involves.

The Camel Bookmobile
Fiona Sweeney wants to do something that matters, and she chooses to make her mark in the arid bush of northeastern Kenya. By helping to start a traveling library, she hopes to bring the words of Homer, Hemingway, and Dr. Seuss to far-flung tiny communities where people live daily with drought, hunger, and disease. Her intentions are honorable, and her rules are firm: due to the limited number of donated books, if any one of them is not returned, the bookmobile will not return.
