Book SynopsisA book for Welsh learners, Entry Level, in the 'Amdani' series. Elsa Bowen works as a private detective. She usually deals with insurance fraud, but that all changes on this Wednesday morning. Elsa B's attention is drawn to the bookshop in Caernarfon where strange things are happening. The story focuses on Lilith Lewis, a local gangster who causes trouble.Trade ReviewMae’r nofel hon yn ticio sawl bocs: 1.) Mae’n berffaith ar gyfer dysgwyr lefel Mynediad, ac mae’r paragraff cyntaf mor syml: “Elsa Bowen dw i. Ditectif preifat dw i. Dw i’n byw yng Nghaernarfon.” Bydd yn rhoi hyder i’r dysgwr o’r cychwyn cyntaf. Mae’r ail baragraff yn defnyddio ‘roedd’ ac ‘mi wnes’ ac mae’r patrymau yn aros yn gyson syml at y diwedd. Ond mae’r awdur yn diwtor Cymraeg hynod brofiadol sydd wedi dysgu’r iaith ei hunan, flynyddoedd yn ôl, felly yn ddewis perffaith. 2.) Nofel dditectif ydi hi – rhywbeth prin yn y Gymraeg. 3.) Mae llawer o’r stori yn digwydd mewn siop lyfrau! Syniad gwych sy’n gweithio’n dda. 4.) Mae hi wedi ei lleoli yn y gogledd – Caernarfon, i fod yn fanwl gywir, ac mae llyfrau ar gyfer dysgwyr sydd wedi eu lleoli yn y gogledd, efo iaith ogleddol, wedi bod yn brin iawn tan yn ddiweddar. 5.) Nid addasiad mohoni, ond nofel wreiddiol o ben a phastwn Pegi, sy’n ei gwneud yn llawer mwy diddorol a pherthnasol. 6.) Merch gref yw’r prif gymeriad – a’r dihiryn. 7.) Mae’n perthyn i gyfres, sef Cyfres Amdani. Mae’r llyfrau i gyd wedi eu harchwilio’n ofalus gan yr un criw, felly bydd y patrymau iaith a’r eirfa yn gyson. Hefyd, maen nhw wedi eu graddoli ar bedair lefel, a dyma’r lefel gyntaf, felly bydd y dysgwyr yn gallu symud ymlaen gam wrth gam a thrwy hynny yn gweld y cynnydd yn eu gallu i ddarllen a deall Cymraeg. 8.) Mae ynddi luniau – rhai du a gwyn gan Hywel Griffith, yn arddull hen lyfrau ditectif. Maen nhw’n sicr yn ychwanegu at y testun ac yn help i gynnal y naws noir. 9.) Mae’r eirfa ar waelod pob tudalen ond hefyd mewn bold yn y stori, ac eto wedyn mewn rhestr yn ôl y wyddor yn y cefn. Defnyddiol iawn. A be am y stori ei hun? Mae’n gweithio: ro’n i’n hoffi Elsa, y prif gymeriad yn arw. Fel pob ditectif da, dydi hi ddim yn berffaith. O ran y plot, ro’n i eisiau gwybod be oedd yn y llyfrau roedd y ‘gangsters’ yn dod i’w casglu o’r siop, ond wna i ddim difetha’r stori i chi fan hyn. Ac ro’n i’n arbennig o hoff o’r diweddglo, sy’n awgrymu’n gynnil bod mwy o helyntion Elsi i ddod. Ond dydi hi byth yn glawio yng Nghaernarfon go iawn, wrth gwrs! -- Bethan Gwanas @ www.gwales.com

Book SynopsisThe Lifeboat Read & Spell Scheme (also known as 'Launch the Lifeboat to Read and Spell'). A highly-structured, multi-sensory scheme of lessons to help dyslexic children - and adults - to read, write and spell. Book 1 is for the beginner. It introduces the alphabet and distinguishes the vowels and the consonants in a series of individually designed lessons. This stage obviously requires teaching support. Later lessons focus upon the letters i, n, p, s, t, a, b and d, which give rise to blends 'sn', 'sp', 'st', '-nd' and '-nt'. Lessons 6, 8, 9 and 10 introduce the learner to the lesson format, which remains consistent throughout the remaining books.Trade Review"It gives me great pleasure to commend this resource. I know it to be based on the authors' many years' experience in the teaching of dyslexic students and on their knowledge of what these students are likely to find difficult."
