Children

I thought I was drowning in paperwork when my two children were in preschool together. Looking back, I had no idea just what it felt like to deal with paperwork from elementary school and middle school. Each day I am inundated with school papers, homework, order forms for citrus fruits, membership forms for Girl Scouts, sports signup forms, PTA newsletters, report cards, and the list goes on and on.

Have you ever known a kid that was funny without even trying to be?  Do you have one in your home or in your family?  They bring a little much needed humor into your day. In my family it's my little brother Jonah.  He's 18 years younger than me and so subtly and hilariously funny. 

My kids can make me feel all kinds of emotions all in the same day.  My favorite is when they make me laugh.  They repeat things they "hear" very matter of fact.  They state them with the utmost confidence.  Then you have to hide the urge to laugh. 

Each day, hundreds of children go to school and are unable to participate in classes because they simply can't read well.  As a parent, you can help your child become a better reader.  By implementing a few simply strategies to improve reading ability, you can help your child soar to the front of the class.
