WHAT'S NEW?
E-Commerce and a Shopping Cart
You asked, we're working on it.
We opened a sister site,
barbsteachinghelp.com hosted by tomfolio.com, where
you can buy our best selling books
from this site and more which may not be on this site. So far, most of our best
sellers are listed there.
As of March, 2009, we have almost 4400 titles there, some of which are used. You will be able to
search by category, author, title, or ISBN. And you will be able to buy directly
on line with your VISA, MC, or American Express card.
If you search the site above, you will only, except in
rare cases, find books which are currently in stock. If you saw the book
here and it wasn't there, it means I can probably order it for you or get the
quantity you need if you didn't see enough there. Any our our titles which have
a BTH number should be on that site if they are in stock, unless we are on
vacation and have temporarily removed all our listings until we return.
Find out about new items and sales first on
Twitter. Just follow barbsbooks
or subscribe to our
newsletter that also features answers to product questions we've been asked.

We have just begun to sell eBooks through our ebookdestination store. To
visit it, please click the link on the right. The only way to buy the eBooks
is through the shopping cart on that site. The advantage of an eBook is you
can get it immediately and you don't have to worry about shipping charges.
Another advantage is the variety of books -- more than I would be able to
physically store in my warehouse. Over 114 publishers are featured,
including many that I sell physical books for on this site. I make more on
the physical books, but I want to offer you the convenience of eBooks if you
prefer them. You will be able to search the site by publisher, grade, level,
and subject. Many books which are now out of print are only available now in
this form. |

Comprehension Featuring English and Spanish Paired Readings by Susan
Luton: A Steck-Vaughn series, new in 2007 and now available. Books in this
series are designed for students who read English or Spanish or both. They
contain paired readings -- fiction paired with non-fiction -- on various themes.
These appear to use the text of the Pair-it Books and
add comprehension exercises that are grade-level appropriate. Each book for
grades 1 and 2 has 11
themes which gives you 22 stories in English and Spanish with a variety of
comprehension activities in English and Spanish. These are a wonderful
complement to the Pair-it Books, since they are
reproducible for classroom use and have the text of 44 different books -- 22
English and 22 Spanish. But these have the entire text of a book on one page
with black and white illustrations, so they don't replace the Pair-it Books.
These are currently available for grades 1-4. Books for grades 3 and 4 do not
appear to draw on the Pair-it Books for content, but do keep the concept and
have one fiction and one nonfiction story for each topic. Actually, the Pair-it
Books don't have Spanish translations at the higher levels yet. They have six
topical units each -- twelve stories.
