Educational Resources

 With 24 years of teaching experience (both classroom and home school), I want to help you help your child to succeed. Why spend $ 20 -30 an hour for a tutor when with these methods you can learn to tutor your own child. Since 4 of my 6 children had learning struggles during their elementary years, and being dyslexic myself, I well understand the frustration. But with God’s help (James 1:5) I learned to overcome, and went on to graduate Magma Cum Laud from Liberty University. Now, I want to pass on to you the methods I used to teach my children. (All of whom caught up)

Get it?  Got it.  Great!

Place Value Flip Chart

This chart makes learning before and after numbers, skip counting and basic place value a breeze.  After watching the tutoring session in action, you can make your own flip chart or buy a laminated ready-made one for just $10.00

I have also made available a book of flip chart pages. It has one large flip chart and enough pages to assemble 10 smaller flip charts. This would be perfect for a classroom or homeschool group. Or you could keep the large one and sell the small ones.

Learning phonic in a story format

Sometimes the rules of phonics are not only complex, but also unreasonable, making it even harder to remember.  Why does cry end in a y and not an i?  Why does day end in y and not just an a?  Find out as you join Judge Webster and the letters in court.  Listen in as they learn to work together resolving conflict and helping one another.  Along the way your child will learn most of the phonics rules.  Not only are the simplified rules easy to remember, they are coupled to a fun reason your child won’t soon forget.   Have fun reading aloud to your child and together you’ll discover the “why” behind the rules and many other helpful learning tips.  The enjoyable short chapters can be read over and over beginning in preschool.  $10.00

Short stories

I have renamed this book. It is now named

“Turning Phonics in Funix”. Same stories as before, plus a couple more.

This read a loud book is the companion book of “The Day the Letters Had Their Say”. It contains the short stories and one-liner hints which the “letters wrote”. It is always easier to remember a rule if you know the why behind it – even if it is a silly why.  But more importantly they will help unlock your child’s creativity so they can think of their own ways to remember.  $8.50

For more information on any of these resources contact me through

stonestruestory@gmail.com   I am also available to conduct math and reading seminars.
