Advice to teachers or parents
The workbooks of the Intensive Reading Programs are designed to be used in a particular way, with great emphasis being placed on reaching daily and weekly targets, charting progress and so on. Descriptions of all aspects of the program and instructions for best implementation are included in the Teacher's Manual.

Sample page from Grammar for Everyone
The book gives teachers and students simple rules and explanations of various grammatical conventions so that speaking and writing correctly becomes automatic. The book is simple enough for upper primary, but essential for all secondary students and adults whose knowledge of everyday grammar is inadequate, eg he played good, me and him went out, I done my assignment, he should of did his work, he alid on the couch, I bought ten tomatoe's, etc.
