One simple CD. Elijah wanted to learn about Ancient Greece. He's been asking and asking and asking. But I hadn't take the time to find quality, living books for him.

I See Sam ~ TOS Crew Review

Reading Eggs ~ TOS Crew Review
I could easily sum this one up in two words: LOVE IT. Simon is five, and he has known his letter sounds for awhile but blending was difficult, almost impossible, and just not happening. Reading Eggs filled the gap from letter sounds to blending and reading words! I now have a reader. Here are […]
