The Reading Kingdom {Review}

The Reading Kingdom is a fun, easy-to-use online program that teaches children 4-10 years old how to read and write to a third grade level.

It customizes itself to each child.

Most children can do the program on their own after just a few weeks

It's fun and children enjoy doing it

It's created by Dr. Marion Blank, one of the world's top experts in literacy

It works with any other curriculum a child may be using

And, it's the only system that teaches all 6 skills needed for reading & writing success!

Dr. Marion Blank, the inventor of the Reading Kingdom, has been honored with the Upton Sinclair Award which is given to individuals who have made a significant contribution to education.

Sissy actually learned to read when she went into kindergarten. It was probably in the middle of the school year when they started it. When I had a chance to do a review for Reading Kingdom, I couldn't pass it up. Bubbie reading before entering school?! We had an inconsistent start. My fault, for sure, because I would forget!!! We started when I had the garage sale and then forgot about doing it until today.  He's still working on the Keyboard & Mouse Training so to be continued...

Congratulations to Homemade Baby at Healthy, Homemade Baby Food. I love your recipes. Will be trying some soon! Thank you Endangerbles for sponsoring this giveaway.

Almost 15 Weeks!

Okay, I think it's safe to tell everyone now. It actually happened! DH agreed to another one. He's a little apprehensive about doing cloth diapering again. Hopefully, I'm more experience about it this time around!

Little Hawk's due date is December 15, just one day long of DH's birthdate. I'm on the monthly visit to the doc, which will be this Wednesday. It will be a lot easier once the kids are in school.

It's been a couple of hours and we've made $80 so far! Now it's the waiting game. I want all the items to have this one them:
