While I was at the library chasing some down some of the ones that you mentioned for this week, the librarian suggested the 'Pebble' book series by Capstone Press. They have great pictures, and 1-2 sentences on the opposite page from the picture. I have one here called 'Badgers' by Patricia Murphy (in case that helps you locate one). Anyhow, I thought I would share since you share so much! <br />Thanks again!<br /><br />JulietteAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7434662234064169811.post-39860899665803017382011-10-30T09:09:26.664-06:002011-10-30T09:09:26.664-06:00Thanks Sue!

We adopted two boys with Down syndrome that I am attempting to home school. They too have trouble with writing so those letters and a bigger white board would be a help to us too. I don't really have time to make letters like this - so please tell me you buy them somewhere :o) You encourage me in so many ways!<br />Wish we could do NACD but can't afford it.<br />Your faith encourages me. I have been not well and find daily life so difficult. I am praying the Lord will help me find out what is wrong so I can do a better job with our boys. <br />I will also pray that the Lord will help you find a solution to Sam's mobility issues, for His glory and Sam's good. He is a wonderful little guy! Take care of yourself. So glad you got respite help. It is hard to find good respite help.Ruth Sharpenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7434662234064169811.post-600327634087569252011-10-29T17:26:37.222-06:002011-10-29T17:26:37.222-06:00I hope you get to the bottom of Sam's hip prob...I hope you get to the bottom of Sam's hip problems soon. <br /><br />Thanks for the great ideas Sue!
