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 help these young women learn to read.

what is written about the program is this...
Reading Kingdom is an online program that teaches students 4-10 to read and write, with comprehension, at a 3rd-grade level. Noticeable results can be seen within 30 days of regular practice. Reading Kingdom is extremely effective for both struggling readers and those who are on grade level because it utilizes an innovative new six skill model of reading instruction and does not rely solely on phonics-based instruction which is fraught with challenges because most words in English cannot be sounded out.

Olivia is born

My niece had a beautiful baby girl named Olivia Rose (Beautiful name). Everyone is very excited and thank God healthy! Congratulations to the whole family! Hugs to my sister Shelley who is now a proud grandma for the 2nd time. My sister Dianna has 6 grand kids (I think). My brother and I are too young for such an blessing. At least our kids are too young. I'm going to have to wait to be called grandma. Here is a cool picture I took off Shelley's blog. It shows Eric (the tired but proud grandpa) Lissa with her first daughter Charlotte, and then a sleeping Olivia Rose. 3 generations in one shot. How fast life goes by! How beautiful life can be!

painting the garage

Rick goes home in the morning. I'm sure he will be happy to see his kids again. 3 weeks is along time to be away. The time has passed so fast. It's been really wonderful! So wonderful!!! We may stay up all night, that way he can sleep well on the flight. Hopefully his jet lag will be less this way! Anyway, here is his painting. It turned out more then good! I really love it...just like I love my brother! We will have to do this again soon!

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.
