A greedy friend almost meets his end, an evening out becomes a dinner worth diamonds, these scenes and more set the stage for an entertaining approach to mastering two-word verb idioms with ease! Formerly On Stage with English, this newly updated student book provides an active stage for improving learners' use of two-word verbs as well as improving their listening and speaking skills. Each of the nine lessons opens with a two-page illustration for pre-listening preparation, followed by a recorded skit (on the accompanying audio component) with topics ranging from family relationships to old age. After listening to and/or reading the skit, students answer comprehension questions and complete a smorgasbord of exercises focusing on grammar, reading, listening, speaking, and writing. The skits are fun for performing as well! Every third lesson is a review lesson, featuring a role play or game. The cast of characters includes two-word verbs like ask for, look for, back up, give up, hand out, think over, and more. This is a show you won't want to miss!

From the authors who created the One Word movement, impacting schools, businesses, and sports teams around the world, comes a charming fable that can be read and shared by everyone. If you could choose only one word to help you have your best year ever, what would it be? Love? Fun? Believe? Brave? It’s prob­ably different for everyone. How you find your word is just as important as the word itself. And once you know your word, what do you do with it? In One Word for Kids, bestselling author Jon Gordon—along with coauthors Dan Britton and Jimmy Page—asks these questions to children and adults of all ages, teaching an important life lesson in the process. This engaging, fully illustrated fable follows Stevie, a young boy falling asleep on the first day of school. His teacher gives the class an assignment: to find the one word that will help them have their best year ever. To discover their one word, they must look inside themselves, look up, and look out. At home, Stevie is upset be­cause he can’t find his word. After his dad offers some helpful advice, Stevie excitedly begins the quest for his word. His search helps him discover a lot about himself, what he loves, and what is important to him. An easy read with a powerful message, One Word for Kids appeals to readers of all ages and is an ideal entry point into discussing a valuable lesson in a fun and engaging way.
