I love being able to share with others–I believe it’s why I’ve been given the time and resources that have allowed me to learn. It’s a blessing to meet others in the homeschool community who have created things to share– I’ve enjoyed encountering my Dynamic Literacy friends at the various homeschool conferences. Their vocabulary program, WordBuild, is really amazing.

I loved the Marguerite Henry books, and vividly remember when my 4th grade teacher read Bright of Grand Canyon to us. To this day, I think it’s probably my favorite by Henry. Our teachers usually read us books that took place on our side of the country, so Brighty and Island of the Blue Dolphin and others were all a part of my childhood.

Thank you for writing!

Do you have or know where one could get a list of ‘must read books’ for our kids.

Ever read Marguerite Henry——Misty of Chincoteague? Oh, where a good book will take you.

Thanks for all you do.

When I mentioned you at ‘Dynamic Learners.’ The guy spoke of you as a friend of theirs and his voice had one of much respect for you and what you do.

Thanks,

Jeannie

We didn’t have a lot of entertainment. We played outdoors, played with toys, created things, and READ. I sort of grieve that loss for my child. Today’s world is so different. So much more technology. So little nature and so few books.
