I have been getting an inordinate amount of junk mail in my email box. And that doesn’t even count what goes to my spam box! I took Friday morning to unsubscribe from the first 30 or 40 emails I had that day. Don’t know for sure why so much, except that I do a lot of websurfing. So I hope this will help to eliminate some of that junk mail. I hope to continue my little spree of unsubscribing til there is little junk coming into my inbox.

I have seen a lot of places offer tutoring to students of all ages. One of the biggest areas of tutoring seems to be Reading Intervention. I have never had experience with any of this kind of tutoring, unless you count the year I homeschooled my nephews. But even then I pretty much started at the beginning by using phonics to give them keys to decode nearly all words.

There are many different forms and approaches to tutoring reading. I think my favorite is the one offered by our public library. They use dogs to have the hesitant students read aloud to!

I think learning to read and to read well is the key to all other learning. No matter what else a person wants to learn, they can learn it if they first learn how to read and to become a proficient reader.
