I am tearing my hair out over finding a suitable book to support my DS's GCSE studies in Spanish (end of yr 10). He is dyslexic and learns better from repetition/overlearning so I need a really straightforward book of grammar rules, vocab and particularly verb tables to help his learning over the summer so that he does not lose ground (he did so massively last summer). The school text book (as with most subjects, it seems) is very jolly and has lots of exercises (with no answers) but very thin as a reference book. He has also been given a workbook to complete over the summer by school but it is a struggle without a reference text. I did French and Latin at school so, although I am willing, I am totally unskilled to support him (even armed with a Collins Spanish school dictionary) and Google translate is ridiculous! Can anyone recommend a book (or even series of books) that might offer what we are looking for? BTW the additional problem I have encountered is that some books are for American Spanish rather than European Spanish!! I know he can do BBC Bitesize etc but he really needs it on paper in front of him.
TIA
