Review: Progeny Press Study Guide for Sam the Minuteman
Progeny Press offered us the opportunity to use and review an ebook study guide for Sam the Minuteman. Progeny Press has a variety of study guides, to help you dig into literature and interact it with it more as you read, from a Christian perspective. They offer guides for Lower Elementary (K – 3rd), Upper Elementary (3rd – 6th grade), Middle School, and High School. The guides are physical books or downloadable e-books (pdf’s). Some of ebooks are interactive. We picked up a copy of Sam the Minuteman from our local library. This was Super D’s first time to read the story and he LOVED it! He read it…

You Need This Free App!
Update 4/22/18: I no longer recommend this app. See followup: Betrayal by Think Dirty App Toxins, toxins, everywhere! I took a trip to Target this week (without kids!!), and went to town scanning things with my new Think Dirty app. I knew most of the cleaners and personal care products weren’t good, BUT I didn’t know they were THIS BAD! I was HORRIFIED. I wanted to show everyone my app, and scan what they were buying for them. I also didn’t want to creep people out or get kicked out of the store <sic> so I refrained. Ugh. NO WONDER America is in a health…

Review: Reading Kingdom
Reading skills, or the lack thereof, are reaching crisis levels in our nation. The Dept of Education has found that 32 million adults in the U.S. can’t read. That’s 14 percent of the population. 21 percent of adults in the U.S. read below a 5th grade level, and 19 percent of high school graduates can’t read. Interestingly enough, 70 percent of the prison population can’t read. Reading Kingdom would like to see a drastic change in those statistics! They recently offered us a fabulous opportunity to review their program, Reading Kingdom Online. We were given a year’s subscription. Reading Kingdom is designed to teach kiddos between…

Review: Middlebury Interactive Languages: Elementary Spanish 1
Foreign Language has been one of those subjects that’s on my “list” of things I want to add but either haven’t found a good way to do it or made it a priority to research. I was excited when I was offered the opportunity to review one semester of Middlebury Interactive Languages’ programs. After a bit of agonizing over which language to choose, we settled on their Elementary Spanish 1, Grades 3-5. Middlebury Interactive Languages offers a variety of digital language courses including Spanish, French, German, Chinese. For my 3rd grader, Super D, they currently offer 2 semesters of Spanish, French, and German and 1 semester of Chinese. All the…
