Chambers Adult Learners' Guide to Spelling is not about 'spelling rules'. Instead, it presents a practical routine that teaches dyslexic learners strategies to conquer any word they find difficult and learn it for life. Lots of  examples, activities and illustrations reinforce the skills being learned. Very accessible and clearly laid out.

A panda walks into a cafe. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then pulls out a gun and shoots the waiter. “Why?” groans the injured man. The panda shrugs, tosses him a badly punctuated wildlife manual and walks out. And sure enough, when the waiter consults the book, he finds an explanation. “Panda. Large black and white mammal native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves.”

Who knew grammar could be so much fun? Through sloppy usage and low standards on the internet, in email, and now text messages, proper punctuation has become an endangered species. In Eats, Shoots & Leaves, Lynne Truss says that it is time to look at our commas and semicolons and see them as the wonderful and necessary things they are. This is a book for people who love punctuation and get upset when it is mishandled. It sold over 3 million copies worldwide in hardback. From the invention of the question mark in the time of Charlemagne to George Orwell shunning the semicolon, this lively books makes a powerful case for the preservation of a subtle and invaluable system.

Reports, essays, CVs, and letters all require correct spelling in order to get the message across in clear and straightforward English.
Adaptable or adaptible? What is the difference between assent and ascent, dual and duel, or forbear and forebear? How do you make the plural of halo? Is it halos or haloes? Actually it's both, but not so for potato, the plural of which is potatoes.
Knowing the difference between easily confusable words, making plurals, and adding endings are just some of the aspects of spelling that confront us with endless pitfalls. This easy-to-use A-Z guide does what no spellchecker can do: it gives immediate access not only to individual word spellings but also to general rules that will help students develop good spelling.

• The guide is based on evidence of actual spelling mistakes, and includes many newer words.
