Ruth Beechick Shares the Wisdom Gleaned From Her Many Years of Studying and Teaching
I have read Ruth Beechick’s books for centuries! Now you know how incredibly old I am. Oh, I guess that would make Ruth pretty old, too. Sorry, Ruth. She’s still around, sharing with anyone who will listen her wonderful common sense, simple principles of teaching children. Simple. Basic. Common sense. Natural. Biblical. Those words describe her approach to teaching and learning.
She has written many more books than the ones I’ve showcased here. These are just the ones that I have read personally. I believe that she has a good grasp of the best ways to inspire and encourage children to learn in a non-threatening, non-competitive, natural way. She has been a teacher for more years than many of us have been alive. Sorry again, Mrs. Beechick. But I would really like to encourage new homeschoolers and old homeschoolers to read her books and find out how easy it can be to educate your child at home.
Okay, I think I’m done insulting everybody now. I’ll just make a blanket apology to everyone that I just offended. You’re only as old as you think you are. Think young. Read Ruth Beechick’s books.
Yeah, that really went together well.
Check out these amazing books by Ruth Beechick and tell me what you think.
"Oh that God would give every mother a vision of the glory and splendor of the work that is given to her when a babe is placed in her bosom to be nursed and trained! Could she have but one glimpse in to the future of that life as it reaches on into eternity; could she look into its soul to see its possibilities; could she be made to understand her own personal responsibility for the training of this child, for the development of its life, and for its destiny,--she would see that in all God's world there is no other work so noble and so worthy of her best powers, and she would commit to no other's hands the sacred and holy trust given to her." -JR Miller
