... If you're like me, Bethany, you'll find that starting guides at different times of the year is more freeing than frustrating! I have found that it really dispels the pressure when we start up in the fall. Some kids are going back to what they are familiar with so they can be independent and "fu...

Congratulations on the progress your son is making in his written narrations! You are so wise to continue to encourage and help him to do his best with his writing, both in written narrations and in writing within the rest of his school subjects.
