Larry Sanger Blog » Reading Bear: Rave Reviews
There are lots of great links here if you are a fellow hunter, and some reviews of Reading Bear. What I like about this program is that it is respectful of children. It does not (with the exception of the little bear logo which I’m not fond of) suggest that children must see things only with black outlines and in rounded simplified shapes. Children are in love with the world they are in. Watch them when they are outside, be it trash can or giraffe they prefer the real stuff of life if given the opportunity and this love is nurtured. What I like about this program is that it is broken down so nicely, giving most children what they need to know to learn to read. A little like Starfall, but less cartoons.

Starfall was built by a man who grew up with Dyslexia and wanted to create a program that would be free of charge and might help children that had difficulties with reading. I recommended it often to parents whose children were particularly drawn to the computer.
Articles on empowering greatness in your children and transforming challenging behavior
Articles that transform your relationships with your children. I have experienced this transformation first hand. This is work worth doing! As a teacher, and parent I had tried everything. Just prior to choosing to homeschool (something I never thought was possible given our relationship) I read Transforming the Difficult Child by Howard Glasser in Tuscon, Arizona. It changed everything so quickly for us. I found myself joyfully loving my son again and really seeing all that he did well for the first time in a long time. I am grateful for this new perspective and refuse to go back.
