Into The Literate Wild
Beginnings
Join me.
I am creating a place to connect with you about the things I love to think and talk about. You will find the following kinds of posts here:
Book Reviews, especially children’s and juvenile literature but more too
Book Lists
Ideas on outdoor adventure with kids
Stories of self-directed education
Thoughts and practices on dyslexia for/in the wild (intersection of SDE and dyslexia)
Practices in the teaching of writing
Maybe a witchy moment or two ;)
Support
I often search the web for real people writing about things I need to know more about. I have found treasures, people who have truly helped me, whether with a big or small need. And sometimes I am amazed in the huge internet that there is so little speaking to my experience and searches. I am here to write about things I know about and hoping you find some tidbits here that support you.
Joyful and Real
I want to uplift and also not ignore the pain. I’m a bright side kind of person by nature, and also dang things are hard out here and I am going to witness and feel with you. A lot of my work is with and for children and young people. I feel so strongly that these humans need and have a right to joy. They also need to be heard and have their hurts seen and for them that often quickly evolves into play. I am grateful to be present for young people and to learn from them about bringing the joy right now.
Intention
You will see posts here about every other week. Sometimes it might be as simple as a glorious library haul and sometimes a deeper look at a book, practice or adventure.
Invitation
Take a peek or a deep pause. Find one idea that speaks to you or follow along every post. Send me your thoughts in comments.
