In “Essential English Book 2 Grades 5 to 6” by Kathi Wyldeck we learn the basics of using our English language. We learn things from nouns to punctuation.She does not just teach you in the written form but also teaches you reading comprehension as well as speaking the language. As I had the pleasure of reviewing book three I found out that I did not have the knowledge of the English language that I thought I did. It’s amazing how much I learned from this author’s books. The book is a great asset to anyone teaching English or needing assistance to learn English.

The Essential English - Book 3 Kathi Wyldeck
Carol’s thoughts:“The Essential English - Book 3” by Kathi Wyldeck is a wonderful teaching tool for those that are in school and need to get a better grasp of the English language.I learned quite a lot from the book that I did not know.I had my sister read it as a user of the book as she is going for her GED this year.
Laura’s thoughts:I loved “The Essential English - Book 3”. I have a learning disability and still found it user friendly. I had a small problem on page 61 on the Noun Clauses. I think it could have been explained better. I also would have liked to have seen the phonics section in the front of the book before you started with the nouns.
After going through the entire book it was all you said it was. Definitely need to do Book 1 and 2 before you attempt book 3, if you don’t have a good grasp of the English language.

Games for Fun, Fitness and Learning Kathi Wyldeck
Kathi Wyldeck has created a wonderful resource with “Games for Fun, Fitness and Learning”. I have been home schooling for more than 10 years and this is by far the best resource I have found. The games are wonderfully geared to teach subjects across the board. They reinforce all aspects of curriculum. I wish this had been available to me when I first started home schooling. My daughter and I have been doing the foreign language games and we both are rapidly learning. I would recommend this book not only to home schooled children but to parents of public schooled children as well to assist in mastering areas that may need addressing. HIGH 5 Stars.

Book Review/s to share: By Jenny Chadwick
I've checked out a few books by this author, and if you want your children taught good English in an easy-to-understand, but thorough, manner, then the grammar and writing books by Kathi Wyldeck are all excellent. This particular book looks at writing, starting with sentence and paragraph practice before moving on to essay structure. All the main styles of writing are practised, with a lesson, examples and exercises given for each genre. Genres include narrative, descriptive, informative, persuasive, discussion, comparative, instructive and letter formats. The book is suitable for ages 9 to 14, or for Grades 4 to 8. This book is fun and easy to follow, and I highly recommend it.
'How to Write an Essay' is a book of lessons, model essays and writing topics to help students between Grades 5 and 12 to practise their essay writing technique. The book looks at story writing, short essays, information, explanation, discussion and argumentative essays, letters to friends, business letters, letters to the editor, science reports, job application letters and curriculum vitae, writers' techniques, poetry essays, and prose analysis. If students attempt most of the essays in the book, they are bound to become better writers as a result of all their efforts.
Book Review/s to share: This book is for anyone who wants to learn the art of essay writing. It combines lessons, model essays and essay topics for practice, and includes narrative, informative, discussion, persuasive and literary styles, as well as CV's, job application and business letters, and science reports. This book is a Lulu best-seller.
This workbook provides almost 200 pages of ideas for writing practice, starting with sentences, progressing to paragraphs, and finally offering a variety of composition topics. The sentence and paragraph exercises are organised into themes, such as animals, transport and sports, while the composition exercises give practice in narrative, descriptive, informative and persuasive essays. Plenty of space is provided for each exercise, so that students can keep a record, in one handy book, of all the writing performed over a period of time. The book can be shared by several family members, (making a wonderful family memento), with the younger children working on their sentences and paragraphs, while the older ones practise their compositions. Alternatively, the workbook can be used by ESL students of all ages and stages who wish to improve their written English through regular writing practice.
Book Review/s to share: This simple but useful writing practice workbook is ideal for encouraging children to write a small amount every day in order to improve their written expression. Each sentence page requires just eight sentences to be written from the words provided, each paragraph page asks for three paragraphs on a given theme, and the composition pages offer a wide variety of unusual topics for story, report and essay writing practice.
