Let's talk: Secrets for Making Children Want to Read Pt.1

Company theme: Read Literature in the Presence of a Child 8/22-9/22, yearly. Have you read my journal-memoir, The Script in My Box: A Journal of Forgiveness ? It is an appropriate read for any family. Never read stories to children that you don't enjoy yourself. Don't get too comfortable while reading aloud a new book. You may become drowsy. Don't be surprised if your kids interrupt with a lot of questions. WHYYYYY :) Try to answer his/her questions immediately.

Back then, in my area, you couldn’t buy school chalk in a regular store.             My mother had purchased a chalkboard toy chest for me, and it only came with a small box of chalk. ...

Special Issue: Our Communities

Dialogue of September 8, 2011 Dear Audience and Followers: Subject: Video Presented by John Munson Chestertown’s Future: Case Study #16 by John Munson. [A Youtube.com Video] youtu.be/gD3xXRaJuxo Chestertown Futures Case Study #16: John Munson John Munson has a gentle way of expressing the frustration as well as the hope for a entire generation of African-American young men in Chestertown. There’s a big scandal happening across North America.   Listen to the video to find out what it’s costing our citizens. I would love to hear other confessions if you are sincere, and admit that you were a part.   My suggestion is to sit all females in high positions down (if they were a part).   I am begging all religious organizations to do this just until we get to the bottom of this.   There are innocent victims who should receive an apology, money, and their lives back.   I say we must sit such women down in their positions (those who had a part) because they we...
