"There were only a few things that I liked about school. I liked the pencil sharpener at the front of the classroom. I liked the closets where we hung our jackets. Most of all, I liked watching the big clock in the front of the classroom... when the hour hand pointed to the big three. I became a daydreamer. I would doodle on my schoolwork. I would play with my pencils and make origami when the teacher wasn’t looking. I would look out the window and imagine I was somewhere else. I felt like school was a waste of time, I wasn’t even good at schoolwork; the letters swirled around on the page, and long lists of math facts made me dizzy. I wanted to go home and build cities in the sand pile. The kids at school would always smash the cities at the playground. If I had been born twenty years later, I suppose I would have been labeled with “Dyslexia” and maybe “Asperger’s Syndrome.” In the right school, they may have even called me “gifted.” But in the 1980s, kids like me were considered “immature” and were called “daydreamers.” We became failures and were required to repeat whatever grades we couldn’t pass. I told my teachers that I was going to be a mom and an artist, like my mom, so why should I even go to school? I was fourteen when I finally talked my parents into homeschooling me. That was when the woods became my classroom. That was when I fell in love with life and learning. That was when I met Josh. That was when the sky became my ceiling."

This plan is perfect for struggling readers and learners. Uses a Dyslexia friendly font to help students with letter confusion and reversal. Juniper is using this with students of a variety of ages: “My elementary students are using the library based journal with their lit-heavy curriculum, but it seemed too basic for my high school student. This turned out to be a great companion for high school! It is wonderful to have his writing across subjects in one place, he is having an easier time with organization and is taking charge of his education with less intervention from me. It's what I wanted for my kids when we began our homeschool journey. If your kids are old enough to read alone and start taking charge of their own education, I highly recommend this portfolio.” Janet says: “If you are homeschooling your kids and live in a "Portfolio" State, this is a great resource to put everything together for an evaluation from a certified teacher. This book is broken up into 12 different subjects and has pages that prompt where to write down science experiments, history, etc. Instead of lugging a ton of different bins, etc. to your evaluator have your child put everything together in this. I can also see this as a way to compile transcripts for a college interview. This might have your student stand out above the rest if you have this all put together to show everything they have accomplished/learned to gain entry into college if that's your path. Ideally designed for Middle School and High School students.” (January 1, 2016) ISBN-10: 1523266457 ISBN-13: 978-1523266456 This Portfolio includes twelve subjects that are relevant, flexible and traditional.

Thinking Tree Books Ages 10+ This Bible Study Guide and Prayer Journal includes both 1st and 2nd Peter in the World English Bible Translation and uses the Open Dyslexic Font. Updated with new illustrations and activities - February 2018! SALE! Normal Price $19.50! About the English Standard Version of The Holy Bible The English Standard Version (ESV) stands in the classic mainstream of English Bible translations over the past half-millennium. The fountainhead of that stream was William Tyndale's New Testament of 1526; marking its course were the King James Version of 1611 (KJV), the English Revised Version of 1885 (RV), the American Standard Version of 1901 (ASV), and the Revised Standard Version of 1952 and 1971 (RSV). In that stream, faithfulness to the text and vigorous pursuit of accuracy were combined with simplicity, beauty, and dignity of expression. Our goal has been to carry forward this legacy for a new century. To this end each word and phrase in the ESV has been carefully weighed against the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek, to ensure the fullest accuracy and clarity and to avoid under-translating or overlooking any nuance of the original text. The words and phrases themselves grow out of the Tyndale-King James legacy, and most recently out of the RSV, with the 1971 RSV text providing the starting point for our work. Archaic language has been brought to current usage and significant corrections have been made in the translation of key texts. But throughout, our goal has been to retain the depth of meaning and enduring language that have made their indelible mark on the English-speaking world and have defined the life and doctrine of the church over the last four centuries. The ESV is an "essentially literal" translation that seeks as far as possible to capture the precise wording of the original text and the personal style of each Bible writer. It seeks to be transparent to the original text, letting the reader see as directly as possible the structure and meaning of the original. About Open Dyslexic Font Type OpenDyslexic is a new open sourced font created to increase readability for readers with dyslexia. OpenDyslexic is created to help with some of the symptoms of dyslexia. Letters have heavy weighted bottoms to indicate direction. You are able to quickly figure out which part of the letter is down which aids in recognizing the correct letter, and sometimes helps to keep your brain from rotating them around. Consistently weighted bottoms can also help reinforce the line of text. The unique shapes of each letter can help prevent confusion through flipping and swapping.
