This review is from: Word by Word Primary: Phonics Picture Dictionary (Hardcover)

I am an English teacher from Israel,teaching small groups of children and adults from age 3-100 at my home. As the kids here have to learn another alphabet and reading direction, I was looking for a book which would make this process as easy as possible.
This book has been an answer to my prayers. It is clear, user friendly, the pictures are lovely and it covers all aspects necessary to master the reading skills in English.
I have been using it now for a few months with lots of success.
No other book came even near to the standard of this book.
Thank you Steven Molinsky and Bill Bliss for making my life as a teacher so comfortable.

5.0 out of 5 stars In a class by itself, January 13, 2004

This review is from: Word by Word Primary: Phonics Picture Dictionary (Hardcover)

This is one of the most amazing English language learning books ever published. Molinsky and Bliss are authors of another book on my highly recommended list: The Word by Word Picture Dictionary, a close second to the Oxford Picture Dictionary. The artists are even more talented than the authors. The illustrations are vivid, easy to understand, and closely match the words. When I was in Korea, I spent a lot of time in the Kim & Johnson bookstore. I saw a lot of good phonics books on the shelf, but Word by Word Primary Phonics Picture Dictionary is in a class by itself.
