Have them master reading comprehension! That's important and actually is the decision maker as to their promotion. Also have them read non-fiction books. Read every night and have them write a summary of what they read. You can even do that with anything that they watch on t.v.

I tell my son the only way he can watch wrestling is if he can write about what happened afterwards.
He saids, DEAL!:) It even inspired him to write a wrestling blog..
Click here to read Joshua's Wrestling Blog

Remember less time watching t.v. and playing games and more time reading. Make it fun. Go to the library together. Take turns reading with your child. Set an example. When you read, your children will want to read.

I love this site...

Having your child participate in church youth activities and outtings can be fun. Signing them up with sports or activites that interest them with your local recreational center, ymca or youth and city organizations will allow them to still interact in sports,cheerleading, and other fun activites of their choice. Their are other activites such as martial arts schools, music lessons,gymnastics,dance and so much more. Home schooler lead very normal lives. I offer modeling workshops online,cooking,life skills and photography lessons that they can study as well. If your interested in signing up,discuss it with your child and email me so that I may send you further information. If you live in the state of Florida we will meet twice a week. If you donot live in Florida you will have the lessons online and video tutorials.These workshops are great for their self esteem and confidence, also if their a Ham with the camera, then they will definitely benefit as well!

News..

2009-04-23T10:16:00.000-07:00

A president who credits community service with giving him direction in life opened that opportunity to tens of thousands more Americans on Tuesday.

President Obama signed a $5.7 billion national service bill that triples the size of the AmeriCorps service program over the next eight years and expands ways for students to earn money for college by helping those in their neighborhoods.
"What this legislation does, then, is to help harness this patriotism and connect deeds to needs," said Obama, a former community organizer in Chicago.

"It creates opportunities to serve for students, seniors and everyone in between," he said. "And it is just the beginning of a sustained, collaborative and focused effort to involve our greatest resource - our citizens - in the work of remaking this nation."
Joining Obama was Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., who has been battling brain cancer. Kennedy championed the legislation with Sen. Orrin Hatch, R-Utah.
Kennedy told the audience that included former President Bill Clinton, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and former first lady Rosalynn Carter that Obama's efforts echoed those of his late brother, President John F. Kennedy.

"Today, another young president has challenged another generation to give back to their nation," Kennedy said, citing his brother's advocacy for the Peace Corps.
The service law expands ways for students and seniors to earn money for college through their volunteer work. It aims to foster and fulfill people's desire to make a difference, such as by mentoring children, cleaning up parks or buildings and weatherizing homes for the poor.
"I'm asking you to help change history's course, put your shoulder up against the wheel," Obama said. "And if you do, I promise you your life will be richer, our country will be stronger, and someday, years from now, you may remember it as the moment when your own story and the American story converged, when they came together, and we met the challenges of our new century."

Afterward, Obama and first lady Michelle Obama joined Clinton to plant trees at a national park site along the Anacostia River in northeast Washington.
