FREE: Lee and Pat: A Child's Introduction to Reading by Philip Gibson



"Could this new series be the most systematic, comprehensive and effective series of illustrated graded readers for children ever produced"

Lee and Pat is the first book in the Word by Word series of illustrated, graded English readers for English-speaking children and children learning English as a second or foreign language. In this first early reader, we meet the teacher, Lee, Pat and their very clever dog Kim. This dog is so clever he can even READ what the children write!

The story is told using just 17 different keywords + 3 names of characters. These most commonly used key words are frequently and systematically repeated throughout the book in order to ensure effective learning.

All the details in the book are revealed in language (words and structure) that has been rigorously selected to be as simple and understandable as possible for young readers.

99 CENT BOOK FIND: #Houston69: When Men Walked on the Moon by Philip Gibson

Available for JUST 99 CENTS is #Houston69: Apollo 11 - When Men Walked on the Moon (Hashtag Histories)    by Philip Gibson (BARGAIN BOOK in UKAustralia and Canada ).  Why not grab a copy before it goes back to full price?





BOOK DESCRIPTION
(Note: As an introductory offer for a ‘new release’, this book is discounted to $0.99 until 16 October, after which it will revert to its regular price.)

What if there had been social media during the first mission to land a man on the Moon in 1969?

If you were not fortunate enough to be able to witness the entire historic mission as it unfolded, this account will put you believably back inside those eight incredibly tense and dramatic days. The unique social media format of the book allows us to experience all the drama and achievements as if we were following them live, and as if the participants were speaking to us directly in real time. The narrative is based on actual astronaut accounts, NASA transcripts of the fascinating continual communications with the astronauts, broadcasts of the all main TV networks covering the mission and the thoughts of many laypeople observers. The account also includes details that were not publicly available at the time, such as the secret speech to be delivered to the nation by President Nixon should the astronauts fail to return from the Moon. There is an extensive list of major sources at the end of the book.

It is not a book, therefore, written in the usual book format. It is the story of man’s first exploration of Earth’s nearest neighbor, the Moon, told as if in real time in the form of imaginary social media posts by the main participants and observers. By using the fictional (at the time) vehicle of social media, the book is able to give an accurate account of the historic mission, revealing what the people involved in, and those witnessing, the momentous events were thinking, doing and saying at each stage of the mission.

The account covers the entire mission, from the tense build up and countdown to the launch, to the heart-stopping descent to the lunar surface, the first moonwalk, the experiments on the surface, the journey back to Earth, re-entry, recovery and the triumphal reception back in New York.
