All About Homophones

Jan262009

A few months ago I reviewed a program All About Spelling by Marie Rippel. One that I will be using for years to come with our kiddos. I am that much in love with the program. Needless to say, I was thrilled beyond measure when they sent me a second product of theirs to review called All About Homophones: Your Complete Tool Kit. This is an amazing resource to help teach your children … [Continue reading...]
