“Typing is an essential skill, but it can be painful. Some children just don't know where the letters are. Typing a three-page story, when they have to spend minutes hunting for every letter, can take forever. Yet we tend to assume that children can type, partly because quite a lot of us know where quite a lot of the letters are, so we assume that children do, too.” KnowsChildrenStoriesThreeForeverMinutesTypeSkillsEssentialsPagesLettersAssumingPainfulHuntingTyping Author:Susan Mitchell
“God lends us a little of His reasoning powers and that is how we think: He puts a little of His love into us and that is how we love one another. When you teach a child writing, you hold its hand while it forms the letters: that is, it forms the letters because you are forming them. We love and reason because God loves and reasons and holds our hand while we do it.” ThinkingWritingChildrenLittlesReasonHandsFormTeachLettersGod LoveReasoningHis LoveLove One Another Book:The Complete C.

“The Bible is a warm letter of affection from a parent to a child; and yet there are many who see chiefly the severer passages. As there may be fifty or sixty nights of gentle dews in one summer, that will not cause as much remark as one hailstorm of half an hour, so there are those who are more struck by those passages of the Bible that announce the indignation of God than by those that announce His affection.” MayChildrenNightCausesParentHoursHalfSummerBibleLettersAffectionWarmGentleFiftyPassagesSixtyRemarksDewIndignationHailstorms Book:Sermons Source: Sermons
“Children make better readers than adults. They read as carefully as I write; adults read as a means of getting off to sleep. I get letters saying 'I have read your book seventeen times.' If you're an adult novelist and you get that letter, you should be afraid. You're being stalked. Kids always read them seventeen times!” IfsShouldWritingMeanChildrenBookKidsSleepReaderAdultsLettersNovelistsSeventeen Author:Daniel Pinkwater
