Classic. Beautiful. Engaging young minds and encouraging them to think. These were some my first thoughts of “A Child’s Treasury of Prayers, Poems, and Verses”, by Joy Marie Dunlap of LightHome Publications.

One of my FAVORITE finds in the homeschool world has been Write Shop. Even before I had children old enough to use it, the samples caught my attention as something that was simple – easy for me to teach, easy for a child to learn. I like to still think of myself as being young [...]
