I was asked to say something about how homeschooling moms can help children who are having trouble reading. This is my method. This is how I taught reading to my grandsons. One of them was being put back in Kindergarten for the 3rd time, during the October of his first grade year. My daughter appealed to me since she was getting nowhere with the school system. He learned in 4 hours! We worked with him in other ways and he excelled. Then, I used the same method on the second grandson who had different problems and then compounded with a serious brain injury from a car accident. He went on to a private Elementary with no one ever knowing he had had a problem. He was on the honor roll for the next two years.
Don’t let bad method be the reason that your child learns that he is stupid or that she is “learning disabled.” Of course, some problems may need some help by skilled professionals, but teaching reading in a sensible, organized, multi-sensory way is a reasonable place to start.
Here is how.

Homing down on the very center, the very essence of the first most important task of a good parent. We found, very surprisingly, last week that religious education was primary, because it was primary to call character foundation, which is foundational to anything else we might want to convey to our children. So, it that is so, what is the center, best, single most important thing we can convey in that religious education? I give it to you here.
It might be surprising. It might be shockingly familiar. However, it can not be controversial. It is the center of all of Christianity, and agrees with the center of Judaism. Further, while the outcomes agree with the desired outcomes of other good paths, the center is centered on the uniqueness of the message: grace.
You will want to hear this. The surprising, and almost never discussed center point of what being a good parent is.
