My DD7, Cameron, has finally started to enjoy reading “chapter books.” When she was smaller she loved to read, but we had a drab spell while her reading level was just a little too high for the “easy books,” but the chapter books seemed to be maybe a little too high as she didn’t enjoy [...]

After playing my daughter’s new Wii game, Smarty Pants, with her the last few days, I’ve realized I don’t feel as smart as I think I am. Where I’ve really found frustrating is the literature questions. After all, I’m an English teacher.  Every time I miss one of those blasted questions I want to scream [...]
