As I’m a bit worried computers will die on move, and bits of paper easily lost, I am going to write my ‘june list’- otherwise known as fantasy education’s ?40 per week!!
I have a feeling it will be terribly long, and need pruning, there will certainly be overlaps, cos then I can think about which I prefer! Also, luckilly, not all of it will be needed straightaway [if at all], but if buying from sonlight or rainbow resources, you might as well do an order and get it over and done with!!
I hope to get criticism of tried and dire things and recommendations of alternatives if you think of something better. It will mostly be aimed at a 4-5 SB, who is quite bright, can concentrate when in the mood, loves stories, cdroms and workbooks [match and sort!] and is v inquisitive, so seems well suited at the moment for home ed.
obviously i would be hoping to ebay some of this!!

Where did you get your Muzzys?
german muzzy was given to me, and the spanish one I bought for peanuts through american ebay. Spanish a v common second language there, so lots of spanish muzzies around. it only had the spanish tapes not english, so came in at about ?15 including postage – result! English tapes i already had with german muzzy. Also bought the german additional vocab muzzy through american ebay.
