Understand the “Struggle” of the Struggling Reader

There are physical and spiritual parts to our learning. We must operate in the promise of
​1 Timothy 1:7 and not accept defeat in learning challenges. If you believe that, or want to believe that, then check out our mentoring services. Walk in greater victory in your learning.

What this is not:

A New-Age Site

There are lots of counterfeit claims to the good life that brush up to truth but are way off. Teachings are Biblically-based.

A Place to Be Unkind

The world has seen enough Pharisees.

A ONE SIZE FITS ALL

Every learner is unique and wonderfully made by God. We work with you to build understanding and mutual respect to discover best practices for the learner.

Uncle Martin's Porch Tales

The Time June Bug Got Snake Bit

“It was a crisp fine Saturday morning. All the children in the valley had finished their chores and were playing outside. They saw Uncle Martin standing on his porch and decided to go sit with him for a while in the shade.”

*ACTIVITY PAGE: What are colloquialisms? Uncle Martin and Emily use them quite a bit.

Forward:

 

“Much of my childhood in the 1970s in Stecoah Valley, North Carolina, a more remote part of the Smoky Mountains. While nearby towns and cities reminded of modernization, our valley was unique and rich in tradition with a feast of local characters, traditions, and unique language as the context of this true story. Uncle Martin was a hard-working legend of the community and an ideal backdrop for this true story of how the Lord used others to help heal a very sick dog and strengthen a little girl’s faith. This is the first in a series of Uncle Martin’s Porch Tales.”
