Aimed at students grades 7-12, King Alfred's English is an entertaining read for any age. This intriguing look at the development of our language is a combination study in both history and English with a bit of linguistics woven throughout. Surprising facts about people and wars, quirky details about spelling and grammar, humorous word histories, all are packed together to form a thoroughly enjoyable and educational overview of English history from 55 BC to 1611, the year the King James Bible was published. The capstone of the book is the story of how we got the Bible in English and it's influence upon our language, with emphasis on the ideas of the Reformation and the people who risked their lives so we could read God's Word in our native tongue. Free supplemental materials for students and teachers are also available on the author's website. For every chapter there are student worksheets and tests; links to online images, articles, and videos; and literature excerpts that expand the lessons-all of these and more can be found at www.theshorterword.com.

Cute, Comfortable, and Kid-Approved
Size: 10 Toddler, Color: Pink
These Amazon Essentials hook-and-loop athletic sneakers are very pink, so they may not immediately read as “unisex” in color. That said, at this age range, kids’ shoe sizing is the same for boys and girls, which is likely what the unisex label refers to. The shoes fit true to size and are well made. The craftsmanship is solid, with neatly applied seams and glue and no rough edges. The stretchy laces are permanently closed, which keeps them tidy, while the Velcro strap opens wide enough to make it easy for kids to put their feet in and take them off independently. Comfort-wise, these are a win. The inner heel has good cushioning so the shoes don’t rub or scrape the foot. The insole is flat but soft, and the toe box shape works well for most foot shapes. My granddaughter finds them very comfortable for everyday wear. The uppers are made from a nylon-type material combined with soft faux suede, which gives them a nice look and feel. Overall, these sneakers are cute, comfortable, and well made for the price, making them a great everyday shoe option for toddlers and kids.

Great shoes for kids
Size: 10 Toddler, Color: Metallic Gold, Size: 10 Toddler, Color: Metallic Gold
These Amazon Essentials sneakers are really nice! The quality is very good, and the size fits perfectly. The color looks exactly like the picture, which I appreciate. They’re lightweight, not heavy at all, and my child walks comfortably in them. They also look very cute and go well with different outfits. Pros: • Good quality material • True to size • Lightweight and comfortable • Color matches the photos • Stylish design for kids Cons: • The soles could be a little softer for extra comfort Overall, these are great everyday shoes for kids affordable, comfortable, and they look great
