Steve,
I am SO GRATEFUL to you! You are a GIFTED, truly GIFTED TEACHER!!!!!! Elizabeth was so turned off to the summer reading. She was procrastinating and planning not to do it. But after one session with you, she was truly turned on! Now she actually loves the book -- tells me, "You should read this Mom, it's really good." She is doing everything you suggested. Reading and summarizing every chapter. And she's enjoying it.
I am so grateful to you, I just can't tell you. You are the BEST. The absolute BEST. She's excited, confident and enjoying the story. What a step up for her to be so prepared before beginning school. And I just love how much she LOVES the book. How wonderful for her to develop a love of historical literature! Broadens her horizons. And gives her so much confidence. You are truly gifted. I don't know what you did, but it's magic! You've done so much for her mind, and her soul. What a gift.
If it's okay with you, we will undoubtedly be calling you for chemistry help. I am so lucky to have found such a fabulous educational resource!
