Career

As the expenses of daily life rise and the strain of the economic climate puts a drain on family finances, few find it possible to save enough money so when the time comes they can retire in comfort. Even if they do plan saving the traditional ways, the income derived from pensions, social security and RRSPs are often not enough to meet the rising costs of living. A report issued by National Summit on Retirement Savings that was held in June, 1998 states, “Americans must save more today if they are to realize the dream of a financially secure retirement tomorrow.” Section two of the report says: “Many Americans are not planning or saving enough to be able to afford to retire.” That hasn't changed since then and in today's poor economic climate savings are even harder to achieve. ...

Reading Games for Homeschool Kindergarten

General

Reading Games As the letter sounds are learned in phonics, make a habit of writing each letter on an index card. Use large, block letters that are easy to read. Remember that kids who are beginning to read can tire easily of focusing on small words, so when you make the words their size, you're eliminating the likeliness of physical eye strain.
