NEW Brainbox game: My First ABC
Brainbox My First ABC	This brilliant new Brainbox Game combines all the fun of the Brainbox Memory Games range with excellent phonics flashcard features. I think this is a "must" for everyone teaching phonics - and a great Homeschool resource.

Bob's Choice
Of all the new products we have selected for 2009/10, the first one I'd buy for my classroom (if I still had one) would be THE TALKING PICTURE BOOK. It's only £19.99, and enables children to draw - or choose - a picture, talk about it, record what they say, then write from their recording. A top multisensory teaching resource.
