Education

Teaching at sentence level is essential to improve writing. Knowing this, I desperately searched for a book packed full of sentence models that I could use to inspire my students. On discovering that no such book existed, I spent the next year poring over hundreds and hundreds of books to tap into the magic formula of what makes a great sentence. I sorted all these fantastic sentence structures into the domains through which we write stories: action, setting, character, feelings, physical effects, thoughts, the senses, and dialogue.

This book contains hundreds of those sentence models. Each chapter also contains practical advice on effectively teaching the different aspects of story writing. The sentences can be used as creative writing exercises, inspiration for your exemplary text, or ideas for writing lessons. This book will reveal the magic formula behind great writing and give you a secret window into how this writing is created.

Using the world of a child’s lemonade stand to teach the basics of managing your finances, this book makes a dry subject fun and understandable. As you run your stand, you’ll begin to understand and apply financial terms and concepts like assets, liabilities, earnings, inventory and notes payable, plus:

Interactive format gives you hands-on experience
Color-coded charts and worksheets help you remember key terms
Step-by-step process takes you from novice to expert with ease

Designed to apply what you learn to the real world

The revolutionary approach of The Accounting Game takes the difficult subjects of accounting and business finance and makes them something you can easily learn, understand, remember and use!

Praise for The Accounting Game:

“The game approach makes the subject matter most understandable. I highly recommend it to anyone frightened by either numbers or accountants.”
-John Hernandis, Director of Corporate Communications, American Greetings

“Fantastic Learning Tool…Don’t let this book title fool you. It is not an oversimplification of accounting and financial principles. It is, however, a serious and very effective examination of a very small but progressively complex business. There are not many books available on the market that make a complex and dry subject understandable and even fun. This book successfully does just that.”
