My husband, John, and I have a grown daughter, Bethany. We also have a very spoiled silky terrier named Maxiedog. We enjoy outdoor activities during the summer months. Following K-State, Ohio State, Chiefs and Browns football keeps us busy during the fall. The winter months usually find us reading and catching up on all of the movies we never seem to get around to seeing in the theater .
Emphasis is placed on learning to read for comprehension and pleasure.
Children are assigned reading homework Monday through Thursday evenings. There is a weekly spelling list compiled of words with one phonetic generalization, review words from previous weeks' lessons, and power words. On Fridays we have a mastery test consisting of the basic list and dictation sentences composed of the basic and review words. Our language is incorporated in our reading program. Students have language practice books and keep personal journals of daily language activities.
