My favorite mother-in-law told me about this little gadget and its value in de-clogging drains. I admit, I was hesitant, but I dutifully went out to home depot and picked one up. That was a few years ago. I finally had to buy a new one as the teeth on the old one were starting to wear, but this tool is by far the best product I have ever bought. It performs its job perfectly, is simple in its design, and costs 2 dollars! If you have women in the house, or you are the woman of the house, go get one of these.
"...the child should have a set time everyday to read for fun. Begin with half an hour for first graders, and build up to an hour of reading time daily... This is an important part of the child's education: it improves his reading skills, teaches him the habit of sitting still with a book, and reminds him that reading is fun... free reading ought to be spent on literature at or slightly below the child's present reading level so that he can simply enjoy himself. The easier reading will help him increase his speed." The Well Trained Mind: The Guide to Classical Education at Home by Jessie Wise and Susan Wise Bauer
