I sure hope cursive won't be taken out of schools. Thanks for your comment.<br /><br />@alyssa and elizabeth, Thank you.<br /><br />Rachelle, Thanks. Having your kids love what you love is awesome. I'm going to have my daughter write up a review this week as she has expressed some interest. I hope she enjoys it!<br /><br />@ Jenn, It's tough when kids have different expectations in different houses. I really think it's okay if some kids don't love writing. Being able to do it and loving it are two different things. I think with my one, the more I push, the more she pushes back. I try not to push too much outside of school. She reads, she writes and she does well at school so far. Her interests are elsewhere. And I think that's okay. I think your kids are okay too. It sounds like they have a great mom who cares about them. That's the most important thing. :)Getting Your Read Onhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00883178823502387785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303564353010807070.post-1805556802687483172011-08-13T19:02:31.794-06:002011-08-13T19:02:31.794-06:00Now I didn't know the part about not teaching ...Now I didn't know the part about not teaching cursive, how will our children sign anything if they don't learn cursive. Printing doesn't embody the same distinctive qualities as cursive does in a signature. Nothing like leaving our children open to get fleeced blind as adults than to eliminate learning cursive. I know my children have learned it in school and will hopefully continue to use it in their education.<br /><br />Sorry off topic, but I had to express alarm at that concept. I was going to say I wouldn't feel bad about having one child that doesn't like to read or write. You're doing better than me, my daughter who is also my oldest is the only one of my children who has any interest in either. I personally think it's partially because her father encourages the interest too so she receives encouragement at home and on visitation. My sons' father hasn't read a book since assigned homework in high school. When they go on visitation the only encouraged interests are sports. So it seems like nothing I do can make my boys interested in books or words. Anyway I just wanted to say only having one not interested is a lot better than only having 1/3rd of your children interested.Jenn of Frequent Reader, Infrequent Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04531745952455455189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6303564353010807070.post-12633854376651883332011-08-10T22:25:11.900-06:002011-08-10T22:25:11.900-06:00This book sounds fantastic.

So far my oldest, 8YO, loves to read and write and I want to help her stay on that path.
