FAST FORWARD
Winner of the Overall Award
Winner of the Primary Literacy Series Award

'Fast Forward is an outstanding reading intervention program for students in the middle years of schooling.

Each of the student books is supported by a mini audio disk, attached on the front cover, which is an innovative feature, providing students with models of fluent reading that will develop their own fluency and phrasing. The teacher’s guides and software will greatly assist teachers with planning, assessment and profiling.''

NELSON MATHS BUILDING MENTAL STRATEGIES
Winner of the Primary Textbook Series Award
The Australian Award for Excellence in Educational Publishing 2007
What the judges said...
''Nelson Maths Building Mental Strategies reflects current pedagogy in teaching and mental computation. This is an innovative textbook series in the way big books (with write-on/wipe-off pages) are provided for the early years of schooling, coupled with consumable workbooks for students in the middle years. The approach of introducing a mental strategy that is then elaborated and enhanced really impressed the judges. The teaching notes on the inside front and inside back covers of the big books were also worthy additions and support teaching and learning.''
