Although
the
focus
of
this
book
is
teaching
writing
in
the
first
grade
classroom,
the
methods
are
very
effective
for
teaching
homeschoolers,
ages
6+ to
write
authentically.
Encourage
your
children
to
use
family
message
journals
on a
daily
basis
and
watch
your
children's
enthusiasm
for
written
communication
grow.
Described

book.
Not

This
book
is a
myth-shattering
look
at
the
most
important
yet
misunderstood
aspect
of a
child's
development:
creativity.
Growing
Up
Creative
is
filled
with
dozens
of
concrete,
hands-on
exercises
that
can
help
parents
keep
creativity
alive.
The
key
is
motivation
that
originates
from
within
the
child;
an
intrinsic
combination
of
work
and
play.

nurturing

In
this
very
practical
book,
the
author
details
why
and
how
to
record
words
that
go
straight
to

the
simple,
vital
words
that
will
speak
to
those
you
care
most
about
and
to
their
descendants
many
years
from
now.
Encourage
family
writing
with
a
host
of
writing
experiences,
some
engrossing,
some
zany;
and
none
requiring
"talent."
I
found
many
of
the
writing
prompts
in
this
book
(first

to be
perfect
for
homeschooling
projects.
This timely book shows parents how to promote
learning skills without subjecting their children to disabling stress. It
focuses on the twin goals of achievement and acceptance -helping a child to
master skills and tasks while at the same time acquiring a belief in self-worth
that is not tied into success or failure in an particular effort. The many
easy-to-learn techniques will help parents instill in their children healthy
attitudes about achievement and acceptance that will last a lifetime.
Armstrong
is a
former
learning
disabilities
specialist
who
became
disenchanted
with
the
concept
of
disability.
His
alternative
concept
of
learning
differences,
or
unique
learning
styles,
is
modeled
on
Howard
Gardner's
theory
of
multiple
intelligences:
linguistic,
logical-mathematical,
spatial,
musical,
bodily-kinesthetic,
interpersonal,
intrapersonal.
Believing
that
schools
have
failed
to
develop
children's
special
abilities,
he
suggests
different
ways
that
parents
can
help
children
to
learn
any
subject
according
to
their
own
style
and
to
develop
self-esteem.

To
me,
this
is
what
homeschool
is
all
about:
understanding

will
help
you
do
that.

Instead
of
making
horseshoes
or
baking
bread,
Javan
and
Lia
would
rather
be
knights
in
the
King’s
army.
"We’ll
be
the
most
famous,
bravest
knights
the
king
ever
had,"
Lia
says.
But
there
are
many
ways
to
wear
the
King’s
armor;
ways
not
even
Javan
and
Lia
understand
until
the
King
reveals
a
secret
that
makes
the
two
young
villagers
the
real
heroes. Award-winning
author
Rachel
Ann
Nunes
teams
up
with
talented
painter
Jay
Bryant
Ward
to
tell
a
medieval
allegory
with
beautiful,
lifelike
paintings
that
create
magic
on
every
page.
This
compelling
fable
of
knights
and
kings,
bakers
and
blacksmiths,
is a
follow-up
to
the
author’s
Daughter of a King,
which
has
sold
more
than
50,000
copies. The
Secret
of
the
King
teaches
that
we’ve
all
been
given
different
talents
and
abilities.
In
the
battle
between
good
and
evil,
we
have
been
blessed
with
diverse
talents
in
order
for
us to
better
reach
out,
serve
others,
and
be
victorious
in
the
end.

This

the

story
of a
young
mother
whose
heart
is
full
of
sorrow
as
she
was
getting
her
five
small
children
ready
for
bed.
It
was
Christmas
Eve,
1927
and
there
was
nothing
to
fill
the
stockings,
and
very
little
food
to
eat.
Mary
had
written
to
her
sisters
for
help
with
such
necessities
as
wheat,
yeast,
flour,
and
cornmeal.
She
had
also
asked
for
clothing
and
some
old,
used
quilts,
for
all
of
hers
were
thin
and
full
of
holes,
and
she
had
added
that
her
selfless
daughter
Ellen
had
only
one
dress
that
was
faded
and
patched..."
Her
letter
had
gone
unanswered,
it
seemed.
Your

love
this

Christmas
sacrifice
