The ABC's and All Their Tricks

by Margaret M. Bishop
Compare to estimated retail price: RM91.00 MYR  

The item you've got your eye on is secondhand. You probably already know that, but just in case!

The estimated retail price shown next to any listed item represents the first-hand prices we've seen elsewhere, or the estimated original retail price of a comparable item of the same quality, construction and material offered elsewhere in new condition.

The ABC's and All Their Tricks
The ABC's and All Their Tricks

A phonics masterclass for teachers and parents

If you want one book that actually untangles English spelling and pronunciation, this feels like a lifesaver. It’s especially good for parents, tutors, and teachers who want clear answers to those oddly tricky sound rules without digging through multiple resources. Readers would likely love how practical it is: part reference guide, part teaching handbook, and full of those aha moments that make language click.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Books in Good Condition

We do our best to ensure the quality of our books, but there is no escaping the wear and tear that comes with time. Slight foxing and some annotations may be present on the pages and the cover.

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Books in Well Read Condition
