  1. Thanks for the information about poetry! I doubt I can use it with my " I am so done with high school seniors" hehehe but I can use it with my grandson who is only 3 yrs old but has develop a love for books and reading, he barely knows the alphabet but loves for me to read him aloud his books, or I place CD's on the computer so he can follow his books with the computer. By the way, I love the Easter and Spring look your blog site has! Is great.
