Review: Pairs of People - Jeanne and Mark K. Shriver - September 2022 This was a bit different than the other children's books that I have been reviewing and reading lately on my blog. This one was a gorgeous way to teach your children maths skills. With adding and multiplication with the two times table. This book goes all the way up to 50 by doubling each page starting with two people. It also goes around the community and shows people working together, helping one another, and coming together to create amazing projects. Pairs of People are not only great as a learning educational tool, but it also shows the meaning of togetherness, sharing, and why it is important to be friends with one another, and caring is sharing and what can be achieved when you work in pairs or as a team. The other thing I loved about this book was that the illustrations by Laura Watson are beautifully done and used bright bold colors to make each page colorful, vibrant, and pop for the reader making Pai...

  Education for our children is important and something that we all wish to have instilled into our children. Some children though have difficulties learning and we don't wish to discourage their learning but they are bothered by the way others are taught, they get frustrated and evidently decide one day to stop learning .  As parents, family members and educators we wish for this not to happen and Learning Success - www.learningsuccessblog.com   has created a number of different activities to help the children learn. Some of the current activities on the site that I have tried include: Hand Letters : These days with the increased use of technology especially in schools and our everyday lives like Ipads and tablets. Most children start school , not knowing how to physically write their alphabets or properly form their letters. Hand Letters was a great activity to help children understand the formation of letters and to recognise what they look li...

Blogging is becoming a fashionable tool and something that is taking over the internet. It is rumoured with statistics that every half a second, a blog is created . Imagine that, I did a search just before on Blogs, and it told me with a live bean-counter that currently today over 4.8 million blog posts have been written TODAY ALONE. That seems crazy, right. How do we make our blog stand out from the others? How do we ensure that it doesn't get lost in the sea of blogs out there? First, you need to have a Niche - hopefully, it is something you are passionate about as then you will stand out. For me, personally, I started this blog as somewhere to write my library book reviews and then within six months I was becoming inundated with boo...

I think too that if I had been taught it at an earlier age, then my memory would be even better than it is today. This activity is all about developing the child's memory skills.  Having a strong memory skill set helps us in all aspects of our lives It's best to think of worki...
