Based on the research of the Bristol Language Development Scales
(BLADES), Chataway is a structured programme of work designed to
help children develop speaking skills. Chataway is based around
conversational skills, allowing children to prepare for social
challenges as well as academic work the programme is written in a
clear and straightforward way, with progress easy to monitor can be
used with all children - those with average range skills and those
with special needs group work focus extra training for staff not
required. For all teachers and teaching assistants in settings from
Foundation Stage and Key Stages 1 & 2, to pupils with special
needs at Key Stage 3 and in Special Schools. The book is also
relevant for parents, carers and all speech and language therapists
and assistants working to develop speaking skills.
This practical and clear book will allow you to introduce and teach
phonological awareness skills to children in the early years and up
to Key Stages 1 to 2, who are struggling with their literacy levels
because of weak basic skills.
It provides a developmental and curriculum linked program suitable
for all children, including those with special educational needs; a
straightforward format that does not require specialist training
yet enables staff to choose activities and confidently use them
from day one; a focus on 'sounds first' leading to secure learning
based on normal child development; activities which children enjoy
and want to play again; and ideal preparation for literacy work at
school.
All staff involved with children in the Foundation Stage (and
sometimes beyond) including teachers, nursery nurses, playgroup
staff, SENCOs, teaching assistants, speech and language therapists
and parents will be able to improve their children's early literacy
skills using this approach.

DragonMasters volume 1 charts the history of the most exciting and
dangerous opening known to chess - the Dragon Variation of the
Sicilian Defense. Unlike almost all other books on the Dragon, the
focus is not purely on theoretical development. Instead, the author
has combined the most historically important games, the famous
players who chose to fight either side (sometimes both sides!) of
the opening, and the most unexpected and interesting stories
featuring the Dragon. World Champions, contenders of the crown,
code-breakers, revolutionaries in every sense of the world - all
feature in this remarkable and entirely unique look into the
history of an opening variation. as the ancient may say: Here be
Dragons!
Coins of the best-known Roman revolutionary era allow rival
pretenders to speak to us directly. After the deaths of Caesar and
Cicero (in 44 and 43BC) hardly one word has been reliably
transmitted to us from even the two most powerful opponents of
Octavian: Mark Antony and Sextus Pompeius - except through coinage
and the occasional inscription. The coins are an antidote to a
widespread fault in modern approaches: the idea, from hindsight,
that the Roman Republic was doomed, that the rise of
Octavian-Augustus to monarchy was inevitable, and that
contemporaries might have sensed as much. In this book eleven new
essays explore the coinage of Rome's competing dynasts. Julius
Caesar's coins, and those of his 'son' Octavian-Augustus, are
studied. But similar and respectful attention is given to the
issues of their opponents: Cato the Younger and Q. Metellus Scipio,
Mark Antony and Sextus Pompeius, Q. Cornificius and others. A
shared aim is to understand mentalities, the forecasts current, in
an age of rare insecurity as the superpower of the Mediterranean
faced, and slowly recovered from, division and ruin.
The book provides, for the first time, a comprehensive account of
the collecting and study of coins in Britain from 1500 to 1750.
Many new discoveries, such as the existence of a Tudor royal
collection, have been made in the course of the research. In
addition, important scholars and collectors have been identified,
who are otherwise virtually unknown, such as James Cole, John
Harrison, Simonds D'Ewes, John Marsham and Francis Sambrooke. The
development of the early university collections, at Cambridge and
Oxford is also described. Many unpublished documents have been
identified, transcribed and, when in Latin, translated. Most are
from the British and Bodleian Libraries, but many other manuscript
sources have also been used, in the UK and abroad. The book is
divided into 37 chapters, which are broadly chronological, with
several thematic treatments interspersed. 73 appendices cover
specific topics. Finally, there is a substantial 'Register', a
catalogue raisonee of all the people who are known to have had an
interest.
