Hi Brenda,

I found the Learners books on idioms. Paid $7.40 each.

Son's teacher recommended this 'Grammar Handbook' by Phyllis Chew. This book is for Secondary school but writer has written several assessment books for primary. You may want to take a look.

Hi Janet

Thank you for your information. Will take a look of it.

These idioms come in three books and dd really enjoy reading them and always read again. BTW, have ou bought the Phrasal Verbs in Action?

Brenda,

Is the idioms come in 3 books (Blue colour) and phrasal verbs (Green colour) in 2 books ? If yes then I think we were buying the same stuff.

You are talking about the learners publication.....Yes I have thoes too..each 5$+ KSP

Did you say it costs $5 each ? I paid $7 for each book (idioms set of 3) then. Just found the books in one corner of son's storybooks. Will have to start son to read and remember the idioms...hopefully some can stick in his head and be of use to spice up compos. Recently, his teacher has been getting the class to do situational writing though.

Plot is good with nice intro/body/conclusion. This will give the kids some idea that they are capable of producing good compos too...some form of motivation...son went 'wow' but forgot about it after that. Was hoping he will start reading more.

Hi plum-cake,

Mine are also from Learners but not the author you mentioned…I thought I saw the name Rosalind Fergusson or something like that.
