Dave & Amy Long
Dave and Amy came to Japan in 1996. Dave from England. Amy from America. They met in Japan. They both thought they would stay for 1 year.
They opened Dave and Amy English School in 2004 with 20 students. It currently has 4 locations with over 500 students.
Dave and Amy wrote My English Book and Me 1 – 6. They made Dave and Amy Games (flashcards and games) to go with the texts. Of course, all materials can be used independently.
Dave and Amy have 2 kids: Alfie (2004) and Leon (2007). They go to Kita Urawa Elementary School and Motobuto Junior High School. At home, we only speak English. At school and with friends, they speak Japanese. Alfie and Leon love soccer and play on the Urawa Reds team. The whole family loves living in Japan.

Dave and Amy’s Materials
My English Book and Me
Why choose My English Book and Me texts?
• The books are about the kids (no characters needed—the students ARE the characters).
• The vocabulary is child friendly (unicycle, scooter…..).
• Children ask and answer questions about themselves (Do you like tomatoes? What’s your favorite sport?)
• Children write about themselves: I can swim. I don’t have glasses……
• The pictures are simple and clear.
• Each page in My English Book and Me 3 – 7 can be done 3 times. Children can re-do and review at their pace.
• It has been road tested in Dave and Amy English Schools with great results.
• It was written by teachers with more than 20 years experience: who know what teachers and students need.
• The home books and class books complement each other.
• Every page can be used—no wasted pages.
