I want to offer help for parents and others struggling to homeschool children, a job most people are not trained to do. My solution also helps fill a void for horse crazy kids missing their horse activities due to the current (now “recent”) COVID19 shutdowns.
Teacher’s Tack for Believing In Horses is available for free below as a PDF file. This teacher’s guide accompanies my book, Believing In Horses, an inspirational story about a strong-willed girl in a military family who commits to saving unwanted horses. My brother, Eddy Ormond, developed learning plans and fun activities, complete with a full homeschooling module to help children learn in an interactive way. Here is your copy!
Teacher’s Tack for Believing In Horses (free downloadable PDF)
Eddy brought more than 15 years of elementary school teaching experience to this project. Teacher’s Tack debuted at the State of Maryland International Reading Association Conference, received praise from educators throughout the U.S., and has been used globally even as far away as South Africa! Eddy worked with me while I wrote the book and helped create situations that would appeal to a young audience. His involvement in the book inspired him to create Teacher’s Tack, an educator’s perspective on how to “teach” Believing In Horses and make learning fun.
And don’t just take my word for it that Believing In Horses is good for children. Recognition has included:
• Parent Tested Parent Approved Official Winners Seal of Approval
• National Education Association’s Read Across America program selection
• PARCC (Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers) excerpt in its annual assessment, and
• Inclusion in CommonLit’s digital library of reading passages and curriculum materials. CommonLit is an education nonprofit dedicated to improving children’s literacy nationwide.
Believing In Horses is available for free in eBook or paperback at libraries. Copies are also available at Amazon or via my website.
Next month, I will share free educational resources related to Believing In Horses, Too. Stay safe, everyone, and let me know if I can help with an interview or answer questions for your readers.
