I hope I can get some input on this. I really like the "English Time" series for use as a speaking book. It also has a bit of reading, writing and phonics. I think by level 6 it teaches a good foundation on English. What could I follow this up with?

I also want to know what books do you like to teach reading? Writing? Phonics? Grammar? I have taught a lot of books in my time here, but I can't remember the names of the good ones.

I'm looking for a few series of books that can take an elementary student from beginner to intermediate.

I hope some of you have experience and can help me out.

Thanks!

I really don't like the english time/lets go style text book.

Personally I found the spin series a pleasure to teach. Clear concise chapters. heavily focused on grammar. I could see a real improvement in their writing

I teach the smart phonics book it's easy to teach from (notice a pattern here ). It's not the best but it is well laid out and organised. The work book is good, plus it is not too expensive. I have seen much worse
