One More Thing of Grandma’s

By Lynn, on November 28th, 2007%

I knew at some point I would try this on.  I did today.  It was one other thing that was my grandmother’s that was given to me and I did want to share how pretty it is.  It is an apron that she ordered not long ago.

Isn’t it great?  I’m sure I won’t be using it to do anything that will mess it up.

Homeschooling A Child With Dyslexia

By Lynn, on November 28th, 2007%

I just wanted to share a picture and a few thoughts this morning.  Last night I walked through the small foyer that surrounds the staircase in our home.  I looked up, and there on the little landing lay my 6-foot 2-inch, 200+-pound 16-year-old son, reading.  I had to smile.  (Then I grabbed my digital camera.)  I surmised that all his favorite places to read — the den, the upstairs bedrooms, my big office chair — were being occupied by someone else, so he found just any place he could to read. 

You can only know how thrilling this is if you have had a child that you struggled greatly (for years) to teach to read!  Joseph has dyslexia.  He looks at things differently from the rest of us, on and off the pages of a book, I might add.  I never did give up on him and was even determined that he would be a super reader.  My heart sings a song of thankfulness everytime I see him reading like this. 

For those of you who are teaching a child with dyslexia:  Don’t give up!
