Succeed to Read
I was a teacher in public school, in private school, at home. But first, I was a mother.

My son accuses me of trying to be "mother of the world," and I admit that I loved teaching the younger grades because part of being a successful teacher there involved my mothering, or nurturing, skills.

There were times when my mothering and teaching skills hit a brick wall. Some children struggled to read more than others.

Years too late I discovered a book that could have helped me when I ran into that bright child who just didn't "get it" when it came to reading.

In hopes that another frustrated educator, whether he or she be professional teacher or parent, sees this little blurb, I am giving the name of this book and the corresponding URL here.

The book is Reading Rescue 1, 2, 3 by Peggy M. Wilber.

The web site is Succeed to Read.

Reading should be fun. Explore the book and the web site to see if your child needs this little twist on learning that makes all the difference in the world.

We Can!
The NIH has launched a campaign called We Can! (Ways to Enhance Children's Activity & Nutrition) for parents to encourage their kids to eat more fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy; decrease consumption of high-fat and high-sugar foods; choose smaller portions; participate in activity every day; and reduce the time they spend daily in front of a television or computer screen.
