Writes and Write-Nots

The reason so many people have trouble writing is that it's fundamentally difficult. To write well you have to think clearly, and thinking clearly is hard.

Now a new body of research is finding even more benefits of reading to children—for both the kids and the parents. CLICK HERE to learn more.
