Scholastic In-Action Series Review + Giveaway

Thanks to the kind folks from Scholastic, we received 2 mini series of In-Action books to review. The bookworms in the house were so excited and could not wait to start reading these books.

During my schooling days, I remembered my tutor bought me a thick book that contained all these phrasal verbs. It looked exactly like a dictionary. There were no colours and no pictures in it so you can imagine the bored look on my face +__+. I did not even want to touch or read the book no matter how good my tutor try to convinve me how it will benefit me in my composition writing. The book is still sitting in a quiet corner on the book shelf. I tried get them to read the book and they had the same reaction as me.

When I saw these In-Action mini series selling at Popular bookstore late last year, I did not hesitate to buy 2 mini series for the kids to read so as to entice them to learn more new phrasal verbs and idioms. Here are the reasons why my kids (including myself) like to read these series:-

1) Colourful

 

2) The explainations are easy to understand.

3) Comic style pictures to further illustrates about the meaning.

Although the recommended age for In-Action series is for 9-14 years old but if you have a child who is an advanced reader, I am sure they will enjoy reading these series too.

Currently there are 16 In-Action mini series and 2-3 books per series. All series have 60 language items in each book. They are retails at all Popular Bookstores and selected Times Bookstores.

Don't be confuse with the "More" series, they are just a continuation of the original series.

You can go to this website for more info on other series.

Scholastic will be giving away In-Action series to 2 lucky winners from my blog.

You can choose between "More Idioms In Action (Book 1-3)" or "Proverbs In Action (Book 1-3)".
