Author Introduction: Kristine

Hi! My name is Kristine, and I can’t tell you how excited I am to be contributing to this blog! First, let me tell you a little about myself. I am married to my best friend, and together we have six children. Our son Zachary is 17, Sarah is 8, Rachael is 7, Andrea is 5, Kiera is 2, and Jessica, who is our newest addition, is 6 weeks old. My son attends a technical high school and I home school our girls. My focus is going to be on the educational part of reading. I have discovered over the years that all children learn differently and each one may need a different approach to it. I have one daughter that learned to read at 4 years old, but also have 2 that had difficulties learning to read (one is still struggling), and one that has low vision. Reading is such an important part of life. I believe it opens a door to a world of learning. Hopefully, by reading to our children when they are young, we can create a desire in them to learn to read. I’m honored to take part in helping to pass along a lifetime of learning and I look forward to this adventure.

Wow, Kristine, I know you are a busy lady with 6 kids and such an age range. I'm glad you are bringing a homeschooling perspective.

I'm excited too to here your perspectives. I was a classroom teacher who considered homeschooling but I felt like I have an obligation to my community, which is why I became a teacher. :) Your experiences are going to be awesome to read about and share. I can't wait to read about them!
