    / Comments Off on Reassuring Reluctant Readers

    When older children hesitate, or down right refuse, to read, there could be a learning delay. But usually, it’s because they don’t think they read well, or they’re not interested in the subject matter. Parents can motivate and reassure their reluctant readers in several ways.

    / 3 Comments

    “Inspiring Wavering Writers” is part two of a three-part series on Helping Struggling Learners. If you missed the first post in this series discussing ways to Encourage Introverted Children, you can find that here.

  • Encouraging Introverted Children

    / 14 Comments

    “Encouraging Introverted Children” is part one of a three-part series I’ve chosen to write as a participant of the The Old Schoolhouse Homeschool Review Crew’s blog hop. The series is titled, “Tips for Helping Struggling Learners.” Of course, I can’t address every type of learning struggle, so I’ve chosen three areas in which I’ve had some experience—whether with my own children or others I’ve taught. There are three posts in this series: Encouraging Introverted Children Inspiring Wavering Writers Reassuring Reluctant Readers

    / 2 Comments

    Are you looking to build your home library? Allow me to introduce you to a resource we recently tapped into which carries a bonanza of excellent books and resources, Library and Educational Services LLC.

They carry Bibles, CDs and DVDs as well. In this post, I’ll introduce you to Library and Educational Services and tell you something extremely special about them. Then, I’ll briefly highlight the great products my family received which were: The paperback book from the New York Times best-selling series:…

  • {Review} Sadie Robertson’s Book: LIVE FEARLESS

    / 1 Comment

    What are you afraid of? On some level, most people fear something. Yet, we all want to live fearless. Dive into this review of Sadie Robertson's book, LIVE FEARLESS, and see if you find it encouraging. This review first appeared on my previous blog in early 2018. But since the book is still doing so well--#3 on Amazon, I thought I'd post the review again on my new website, and add it to the website's popular page of reviews.
