self publishing 2018

Hi everyone, Here's a more updated version for you to comment on. Main idea: this for homeschoolers and teachers of VYL. It includes some phonics tips, background info, and 40-50 games / activities to practice early reading and writing. Please take a look at the acitivites in particular! (Margarita - I've noted your comments and added - or resolved - them here. Thanks!) https://docs.google.com/document/d/1r8bKXu6ZC3E4H3EiBSKHadWYWRqiqlQeb-X3PQv52rU/edit?usp=sharing

Cover. As you may know, I changed my topic to literacy / phonics. I'm rubbish at design so have played around and come up with 8! I'd really appreciate your thoughts (positive or negative) on: - the best title - the kind of design (e.g., jolly vs serious) - anything else! https://www.canva.com/design/DADD0UR9jVQ/pjVudw3NQsZm940hQdXwFA/view?utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=email&utm_source=publish

Hi everyone! My ebook is a collection of fun activities for teachers and parents to use in order to teach children how to read (phonics, essentially). I'm terrible at design, so I'd really appreciate your feedback! - Which of these three do you like best? - Do you have any other ideas? - What do you think about the title? (I don't want people to confuse it with EFL reading) - Other thoughts? https://www.canva.com/design/DADDhkolJ2E/share?role=EDITOR&token=iu7pLiIAFDhgHbmBjgQSRA&utm_content=DADDhkolJ2E&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=sharebutton https://www.canva.com/design/DADDhkolJ2E/share?role=EDITOR&token=iu7pLiIAFDhgHbmBjgQSRA&utm_content=DADDhkolJ2E&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=sharebutton

Homework #1 I’ve had a rethink... I’ve chosen a tips book, which is quick and easy to write. The goal is to be able to spend more time learning the skill of formatting, etc! * What? Who is it for? A book of “50 ways to teach children to read (phonics)”. Much like Lesley Ito’s 50 ways to teach YLs, this is ideas and activities (in 5 categories). Same format. * What do people currently use? I’ve noticed that there are numerous websites devoted to the topic of phonics (mostly written by resourceful homeschooling parents), but no creative ideas in books. * What will the final product look like—text? images? size? format? length? I had a massive writing sprint this week and wrote almost all of it in two days! Size - about 60 pages, with an introduction and 50 tips, like Lesley’s. It’ll be text plus as many photos as possible to clarify the activities. (I already have some lovely materials I made, so I need to take the pics and insert them). Some queries: 1. Photography - what do I need to ...

Hi everyone! I'm a teacher trainer and author. I've published more than 25 books, but never in the form of an ebook! (This is my second attempt at this course). I'm British, but live in Ecuador. HOMEWORK #1 -Who would use my material? It's for teachers who want to improve their English and learn about methodology at the same time. (Like Mary Spratt's book) -Why? What would they gain from it? Teachers have very little time to study English, so this acts as a self-study book. -What are they currently using? Nothing, as far as I can see! Mary Spratt's book is very high level. I'm aiming more for the B2 level. -Why do I think my material is good? Because it is already written (co-authors: Chuck Sandy and Barbara Hoskins). It's well organized and designed specially for teachers who want to focus on vocabulary plus the other skills and reflect on / discuss methodology. It currently has a lot of audio, though, so I may have to adapt it. It also contains WOLs (...
