That is really a blessed word your doing Sir.
I only took Mathematics from all the subjects you mentioned just now.So i would recommend IGCSE Mathematics  by Pimental , R & Wall, T.That's what school used

I took only english and maths from these....i'd suggest david rayner and ric pimental IGCSE math textbooks...both for reference
Well for english, if u r a native speaker, not much is required but the igcse study guide by john reynolds

I did get an A in english and A* in maths with these...although we had some other books for english and maths both...these were better and worth the cost of the book...i recommend these..

Hope it helped.
Best wishes on behalf of my entire forum family!!!!

This is the most noble thing I've heard this whole summer, what your doing is a great thing to your wife and I admire your determination to fulfil your wife's wishes. :)

Now for the text books, I cant reccomend anything new, I've only taken Mathematics from your list and the book I used (IGCSE Mathematics by Ric Pimentel and Terry Wall) was already reccomended to you.

Wishing you the best of luck with helping your wife sir.  ;)
