CORE KNOWLEDGE (teaching art is teaching reading)

http://www.coreknowledge.org/blog/2009/01/09/teaching-content-is-teaching-reading-3

the point of this post is two-fold.
#1- i am trying to imbed a link into something, which i have never done before.
(I know, vicki, hard to believe, but true. now we'll just see if it works!)
#2- because i found this video to be quite interesting.
now, of course, i take it all in, chew it up, digest, and then regurgitate it into something more suited to our 'unschooling' lifestyle; but i still think it's very useful info. so, any homeschooling/unschooling parents out there who might be sweating the 'reading skills' stuff, take a look. and those of you who have no worries about it, due to either incredibly gifted and advanced children, or a natural cool-as-a-cucumber confidence that everything will fall into place when and how it's ready to; watching the video will still give you some technical statistics and psyco-babble lingo to use if ever you need to defend yourself, your kids, or your family's lifestyle and educational choices! kind of a one-up in the pocket, just in case!

  1. ummmm. yeah..I should have mentioned it's done differently here. In blogger you highlight the word you want to hyperlink then you go to the post's toolbar and click on the little globe. Then it'll pop up ots omething asking about a hyperlink, then you paste the link there where it tell you to.

    Now let's get back to chatting! lol
