Learning Glitches

Dyslexia runs in our family. It's been a challenge to deal with and caused me to spend lots of time in prayer. It has also made me very thankful that we can home school.

I've recently been made aware of Diane Craft's materials for teaching the right brained child. I am really excited about trying them.
If you have kiddos with "learning glitches" she may have the resources you've been looking for.

I'm excited about trying the multiplication cards for the right brained child. They have pictures for each number and a story which will help the RB child get the facts into their long-term memories. I'm also going to use her materials to help my struggling reader.

Her web site also has some fascinating info on nutrition for behavior problems.
Check her out! : )

My hats off to you...

mothers of preschoolers!
Today we did school with three little visitors at our house who were 5, 3 and 1 yrs. old.
We had a really nice time. It was fun to be reminded of what the preschool years were like. -Boy, do I have it easy now. : )
I'm not sure how we did it, but we got our school accomplished much to my surprise.
I had the two oldest kids join us at the table to color while we studied the Bill of Rights and they were paying attention right along with mine.

My two youngest were such a big help. I was so blessed by their hearts to serve.

And I got a kick out of this:
After I put all three down for a nap, my youngest, who is 9 said, "Wow, its good to have a normal, quiet house again."
Yes, nap time is and has always been wonderful thing! It seems like yesterday that he was taking them. How time flies!
