To give you the best possible chance to "try before you buy" and fully appreciate how Action Words works, we have provided a number of samples from Workbook 1.

Our exciting themed workbooks contain games and exercises for home or school.  Each Workbook contains a pullout sheet of matching cards, which can be cut-out providing a set of matching cards for each child. We recommend that you play the games at the beginning of the workbooks before using the worksheets.

Use the links at the top of the page or scroll down to access information about each of the samples.

Clicking the "View sample" link within each section will present you with a printable sample for you to try in the classroom or at home with your child. You can even right click the large sample image and save it to your computer to print out later.
