My favorite elusive blogger and thinker Steph nominated me for a Brillante award. (I loved Rosie’s “hide and seek” description : ). Steph is one of the most thoughtful writers and faithful commenters that I know. I am so surprised and honored that she likes my writing […]

I liked this gestalt homeschooling post that Patience at Knitting the Wind shared from her old blog. Especially this part:
Rose has in her mind all the bits of information, but in a way that makes one great story. She is also being trained at a very gentle, almost unconscious, level to see […]

I wrote a post on New Years Resolutions on my other blog. To add to my other resolutions, I’ve resolved to link my other posts here IF it doesn’t get too clunky. Which it may — we’ll see. How do I decide what goes on that blog and what goes here? I can’t […]

Another post I read with interest recently was And they say she is learning disabled! from Dishpan Dribble. Writing about a child who discovered for herself that she could memorize the books of the Bible IF she associated them with a note on the piano:
Now let me say here that she has been […]

I think that JoVE has it right in Accessible Poetry when she talks about what accessibility is to a child:
