This review was a little different for us. You see I am dyslexic, a writer, and a homeschooling mother. How’s that for a combination? I jumped at the chance to review Logic of English language arts curriculum Essentials 2nd Edition. A chance to learn what elementary school teachers had deemed not worth teaching me.
