In this video you’re going to hear 7 awesome verses of the song “A poor wayfaring man.” Which is your favorite? Be sure to tell us in the comments! Watch to the end of the video… to hear the wonderful ending! If you make a great comment I will reply! What hymn would you like to hear me sing? 1. A poor wayfaring Man of grief Hath often crossed me on my way, Who sued so humbly for reliefThat I could never answer nay.
I had not pow’r to ask his name, Whereto he went, or whence he came; Yet there was something in his eye That won my love; I knew not why. 2. Once, when my scanty meal was spread, He entered; not a word he spake, Just perishing for want of bread. I gave him all; he blessed it, brake, And ate, but gave me part again. Mine was an angel’s portion then, For while I fed with eager haste,The crust was manna to my taste. 
3. I spied him where a fountain burst Clear from the rock; his strength was gone. The heedless water mocked his thirst; He heard it, saw it hurrying on

How can I help improve my child's literacy skills? Here's a quick video...

Learn some ideas that will help improve literacy in children! Main ideas: Why reading? Reading is great exposure to language. It's also a great way to explore the world! Repetitive text makes it easy to predict what sentence structure is coming up and what will be said. It also makes books fun to read chorally! Rhyming books are great for teaching sound awareness. Books can help children of all ages explore feelings about the world. How to have fun with reading? Read out loud, pretend to be an actor, do voices, make noises! Visit libraries and see what's on display there. Ask questions about the text as you read. Here are a couple of great titles I love: Heir apparent by Vivian Vande Velde: https://amzn.to/2ZyHbcE Eric Carle collection: https://amzn.to/2NNetSI I am an amazon associate and earn from qualified purchases.
