The following listed resources are available. They were originally written as PAR worksheets that could also be suitable as Homework pages. They were sold as Photocopy Masters. More recently they have been put in booklet form and still used for Photocopy Masters or as textbooks for students to work from.
- good for Homework; especially for long-term students
- structured in design, with built in repetition
- aim to promote mastery of skills
Options available to purchasers of PAR resources
Any of these may be purchased as:
- PDF files for making copies from
- Loose Photocopy Masters
- Booklets
The best deal is to get PAR resources as PDF files which we can e-mail, arrange for you to download from a website, or put on a CD along with the software. You are then free to print from them, make your own booklets if you wish etc for use within the Centre that they are licensed for. Because they don't involve high production costs or postage charges for getting these to you they are so much cheaper.
If you do choose to get any of these resources in booklet form, we can group any of these into booklets as desired. e.g. You might like Maths 5A, 5 and 6A all put in the same booklet. In this case we would be able to reduce the price a little. Tell us what you want and well work out a good deal for you.
We are all set with Pay Pal which allows you to pay using your Credit Card or whatever suits.
Before ordering any of these please contact us for a price list and to arrange the best deal.
The PDF format is far better for me than the booklet style, as it only takes a second to print a sheet, rather than the clumsy process of scanning and copying which ends up with an inferior copy.
