Yesterday morning, a discreet email came addressed to my inbox. A young gentleman who was homeschooled along with his four sisters has recently completed a short film called “What She Taught Me”.
I found his film encouraging and heartfelt. It was a subtle reminder of the importance of what we do.
To explore more of Shaun Lichti’s work, please visit his website HERE.
Thanks for sharing. I am planning a series on reluctant readers thanks for the inspiration:)

I’ve never reblogged before but his broke my heart and encouraged me at the same time. I love reading to my children and will likely read an extra story with them today. Personally, as I watched this I remembered cuddling with my grandma as she read Scripture to me and cried my heart out…

At first I skipped watching this short video, then later decided to take a peek.
Sure wish I would have had the box of tissues next to me before I hit play, but am so glad I watched.

What a great share! It’s the air these days: Reading, why it really does matter. The power of stories, of imagination, of learning, of parents and child sitting close over and over again. So simple, yet profound, and so very needed in a child’s life. I am reading John Trelease’s book The Read Aloud Handbook. I have the newly updated 7th edition, and its a great classic. Written over 30 years ago his message about American education has almost become prophetic in nature.
Cheers,
Leah
