These are approached in a student-friendly way and use mnemonics to make it easier for both student and teacher.One of the greatest assets of this book is that it has eight monthly modules and each module has individual lessons. This helps the student and teacher to look ahead and discuss what will be required in the short, medium and long-term.The poetry module takes the 'petry-fy' out of poetry and has a unique formula for great poetry that the students will find invaluable.
