MIXED SUBJECTS

  • Comprehensive Curriculum of Basic Skills, Grade 3, by American Education.

  • Comprehensive Curriculum of Basic Skills, Grade 4, by American Education. Was 19.95. Now only 5.00-S

  • Comprehensive Curriculum of Basic Skills, Grade 5, by American Education. Was 19.95. Now only 5.00-S

  • How to Prepare for the GRE, Tenth Edition, 1992. Now out of print, this students' #1 choice to prepare for the Graduate Record Exam is still available from me. Contains six complete model exams, and review sections that cover all test areas. Paper, 659 pages. Was 12.95. Now only 5.00-S

  • Learning Works, The Junior Question Collection: A book containing more than 300 well-illustrated questions books books, sports, people and places, math, science, etc. There a two questions per page (answers in back of book) ranging in difficulty from "What is the yellow part of an egg call?" to "What instrument is used to detect radioactivity?" The introduction suggests a number of uses for these questions, including individual research projects, question bees, classroom quiz shows, or even party games. For elementary students. Was 7.95. Now only 4.95-S

  • Learning Works, The Question Collection: similar to above, except there are four questions per page, over 600 questions in all, and the questions are harder. They range in difficulty from "Name the three primary colors" to "With whom does Anna Karenina fall in love?" This one is probably best for secondary students. Was 7.95. Now only 4.95-S

  • Learning Wrap-ups: These are hand-on aids that make drilling in various subject areas fun and self-correcting. The student wraps a colored string around a notched bookmark-size plastic piece with words or symbols written along each side. The idea is to match a problem with its answer, symbol with what it represents, etc. Students move the string from side to side, wrapping together the notches that match. Then, when finished, he turns over the "bookmark" and sees if his string pattern matches the pattern printed on the back for the correct answers. This has newer packaging now than when I bought these, and this is the old packaging in tubes. There are 10 different game boards per package and the sting is included. The regular price is 7.95. These are on sale for 4.50-S each while they last. Unfortunately, they must go parcel post, not book rate, so I'd have to know your zip code to give you a postage quote. Titles available are Phonics 1, Music Rhythm and Vocabulary, Music Signs and Symbols, Music Intervals and Chords, Numbers, Alphabet, Compound Words, States and Capitals, Antonyms, Homonyms, and Learn to Speak Espaņol (Basics). Supplies are limited.

  • From Me to You: A book by Me Just For You. This little book by Learning Works is designed to be a gift in which one friend fills in his own thoughts about his friend to make a kind of memory book. Examples:"Here's a T-shirt I designed for you;""If you were a famous scientist you would discover..;" "I'll never forget the time when you..." Was 4.95. Now only 3.50-S

  • The Scholastic Synthesizer, by Derreth Kenway, recommended by Katherine Stout. This is written by a mom who teaches four children at home. She says this system, based on library books and reports helps her family cover all the basic requirements regularly and simply without the hassle of individual subject lessons. This paper, spiral-bound, and maybe a bit dog-eared book explains Mrs. Kenway's system. Was 10.00. Now only 6.00-S

We receive a small commission from some links to third party sites with whom we have an affiliate relationship.

We're in the Pacific Time Zone
Our normal office hours when we answer the phone are 10: 30 AM - 4 PM Monday - Friday.
We answer email and ship at other times, but normally take Sundays off.
 You can fax your purchase orders to 805-237-8639, but it's good to follow up with a phone call in a couple of days to make sure we got it, if you did not receive a delivery confirmation email. Please include an email address with your purchase order in case we have questions and so we can send your delivery confirmation number to you.  You can also attach a signed purchase order to an email.

 We prefer you ask your questions about products and availability by e-mail (barbsbooks@sbcglobal.net), since that gives us more time to prepare a thoughtful answer and keeps us from playing phone tag. Please remember to put our email address in your address book if you have a spam filter or you won't ever get your answer unless you also leave a phone number. We cannot usually tell you immediately over the phone if a book is here. We have to walk two blocks to check the warehouse, so I usually have to call you back or email you anyway.  We do check our e-mail frequently throughout the day when we are at home. If we should be out, and you leave a message on our answering machine, we sometimes cannot hear the phone number clearly to return your call. Those are some reasons why we recommend you email us first. If you want us to call you, please leave your phone number and time zone.
When you do email us, please do not leave the subject blank or just say "Hi" or "Hello" as the subject. We delete those before opening because a lot of spam messages look like that. 
We have supplied a subject line in the link provided above that will guarantee your mail will be opened fast.
