First reading lesson

I just got my new book, Teach Your Child to Read in 100 Easy Lessons, and started with lesson number one. Philip was so proud and happy he could do the exercises easily. He learned to say mmmm instead of m, and ssss instead of s. The program teaches the kids to say letters the way they sound. They begin very basic, and build lesson after lesson. I'm really excited. So is Philip! I will be honest with you, I wish I could teach him at home. It is so hard to send him to an over crowded class room where I know his worth is destroyed every day. He can learn. He just needs more help then a "normal" child. He is so proud when he learns. I wish Germany would allow me to keep him home, but they don't allow it! Please pray God gives us wisdom about what would be best (or the next best thing). I see no good answers, but I am not about to stop looking. Ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened! I am so proud of Philip! He will learn.

I'm so excited you finally got the book! Please keep us posted on Phillip's reading! I also hope to hear you've found the perfect school soon! I got to where I would do two reading lessons a day after my son got the hang of it. If it gets too hard, you can do the same lesson morning and evening. Good luck!

chicken coop idea

Why not start with an IBC and cut a hole for the door? You could build closed laying boxes into it, and something for the chickens to roost on. Put some straw or saw dust on the floor. You could add vents to the side for air. If it sat inside a chicken run that you can walk into, the chickens could be safe, dry and happy. I have an extra IBC. Maybe this could be my chicken house? I bet I could even plant the outside of it with mud and grass for extra insulation and good looks.

Reading Kingdom

I am very happy to review the Reading Kingdom.   This is an online program that uses a variety of methods to teach reading.   I decided to share this product with my adopted granddaughter Ruth.   Reading kingdom uses a six skills integrative method Ruth only just began to use the program. She is only 3 years old and cannot use the program without help.   But her mom says that she can already recognize words like girl and kids when they are shown on the screen.   Sylvia wrote that she loves the repetition of the words in the program .   That Ruth is memorizing the words she sees.     She will be able to use it for an entire year.   But I expect her to become a very good reader.   And what a great gift to give to any child!   She will have a lifetime love for books.     Sylvia also works with teenage mothers in Uganda.   And many of these women have never attended school.   So she plans to use these ideas to h...

Happy Birthday to Jessica

Today Nicole and I took Jessica shopping. She turns 22 years old tomorrow. She has grown over the past year. She now likes her disabled workshop. And she has begun to learn to write again on the computer. It is a slow process, but maybe she can write independently in the next 5 years. Her teacher is wonderful. We are very blessed to have her help! If I stopped and thought about what Jessica might be doing if she was healthy, it could break my heart. Birthdays should be happy, but when your child is disabled it's always bitter sweet. Bitter because of the milestones that were never met, and sweet because of the person that is still very valuable and wonderful. But I'm sure everyone feels bitter sweet about something in your life. Life is never only sweet. For me it is much better to fix my eyes on what is there and let go of what I hoped for...what every parent hopes for. Jess bought a new book, 3 DVD's and a Fanta. I also took her to McDonalds because that is ...
