Practical and manageable like a real tablet, where all information can be instantly recalled with a simple touch, the Tablet of English Rules covers the main contents of the English language taught in lower secondary school: phonology, spelling, morphology and vocabulary.
Easy to consult, thanks to a clear and clean color graphic design and the adoption of a lexicon that is as simple and immediate as possible, it is an indispensable tool for all first-level middle school students, teachers and parents alike. It can be very effective for students with Specific Learning Disorders.
The order in which the topics are presented follows the progressive level of difficulty of the subject as it is dealt with from the first to the third year of middle school. Each topic is introduced by an anticipatory map, which provides an overview of the concepts addressed, activates previous knowledge and helps to orientate and focus on the fundamental points.
Each page is dedicated to the explanation of a rule or a procedure and is introduced by an illustrated comic that anticipates the content, anchoring it to the daily reality of young people so as to overcome the idea of mathematics as an abstract and detached subject.
The presentation of the contents assists the student in recognizing the various elements, clearly identifying their characteristics, and differentiating them from other characteristics with which they could be confused. The consistent structure of the pages facilitates the retrieval and comparison of information. Immediate help is also offered by the consultation tools offered inside the flap covers, to quickly find useful phrases and phrasal verbs.
