I talked to Ms Fong this morning and she said a new lot of books will arrive this afternoon. But she did not tell me what they would be as she was not sure.
If you are interested, you may call her later today or take a look there.
Hello all, I talked to Ms Fong this morning and she said a new lot of books will arrive this afternoon. But she did not tell me what they would be as she was not sure.
If you are interested, you may call her later today or take a look there.
You're welcome. Just called Ms Fong and she said the first batch of new lot includes Cambridge 少兒English, 大山叔叔講故事 and some others. But they are all introduced before.
She said the second batch would arrive later today...
Great news to you all! (I remembered that Ah_lam has been asking about the availability of National Geographic WOL.)
The China version of National Geographic Windows on Literacy is published by 外语教学与研究出版社 and will be released (or already available).
There are 3 different levels: Emergent, Early, Fluent. Each set includes 25 books + 25 workbooks + 25 CDs + Assessment guide + Parent Guide + ....
According to the official website of 外语教学与研究出版社, the marked price is $680 (quite expensive!!!) but it's only about ~ 1/5 of the HK version.
Here are the detail information copied from 外研社.
(If you're interested you may take a look at their official website or probably ask "IXXX" or "CxxxxxWxxx" for pre-order.)

I found the information of NG_WOL in China Website and posted them here immediately. So, I didn't see the real products and I do think that their prices are marked quite high this time.
I didn't place my order yet. I'll see the books and check their quality before I make the decision whether I should buy 1 level (fluent) or all 3 levels.
(Moreover, I do have lots of books at home too!!!)
Hi gigileung,
Actually, there are more than 300 titles of NG_WOL from the original USA version.
HK version of NG_WOL is made up of 5 levels with 150 titles:
You know, I bought 180 titles from New Zealand last June. It cost me nearly HK$7000 (including postage). No exercise books and no parent guides were inclusive. When I heard the news from you, I have a little bit regret that I bought them so early.
The deal of around HK$16xx is really attractive.
But anyways, the pictures there are very beautiful. The text inside are well written. I would give full marks to them. My kids like them very much.
Thanks for your information and sharing as always.
