I am a wife, a mom, and now a grandma, living in the beautiful 1000 Islands region of New York state. After several years of teaching reading and phonics to younger kids and grammar and composition to older kids, and even more years of just flat-out reading as much as I could get away with, I thought it was time I put some of my teaching material into practice on a broader front. So here’s my blog – mostly intended to center around book-related or language-related topics…but I always reserve the right to blog about whatever strikes my fancy at the time. I trust that whoever reads these blogs is educated/amused/mentally stimulated/blessed.
