PREFACE

“Way to success leads to success”

We are very happy and pleased to bringing out ‘Way to Success – a complete guide’ for 10th Standard English. This idea sprouted due to the support of many students, parents and teachers who benefited by our ‘Way to Success–Complete Guide & slow learners’ material’ published in www.kalvisolai.com website in the year 2011-12. This book is the enriched version of those ideas.

It’s the only student oriented material in bilingual approach (Tamil &

English). It’s also a self learning Material. Each unit is dealt properly based on the blueprint, Model and SSLC Public Question Paper-2012.

Our innovation is ‘the practice book’ which is supplied with this Study

material. It lessens the work of both the teacher and student in unit tests. It is not only a guide but also a friend for teaching and learning English.

Along with this we have updated and included our slow learners’

material with this guide. We assure you that this guide will serve you as a good friend to enhance your dreams in the near future.

Best Wishes to All
