"I really like the Journals. I'm learning a lot, and they give us something new and cool to talk about at dinner."    — E , 12yo

"Now that I've had some time to really work with the Journals, they've become one of my favorite parts of school. I've learned a lot about people and events I didn't really know much or anything about before. They're interesting and fun and I really enjoy them."    — Z , 15yo

"Despite the limitations my daughter's dyslexia puts upon her reading and writing abilities, she is doing very well with her Journal entries. My husband and I are both quite pleased with the results, and we can see that she is proud of what she has been doing and learning. These Journals are proving to be a big confidence booster!"    — J

"Hi, my husband and I homeschool our 7 year old son. We use an eclectic blend of curriculum and our son has enjoyed everything we have ever done of yours — especially the weekly journal. Thank you so much — we've only done one week so far but the journal has been a very happy, rich experience for us! It surprisingly became the spine of our week and, because it's content sprung from the actual day, everything else we touched on through the day felt so relevant and vibrant. That has been a revelation. Our son is taking such pride in expressing himself through his writings. Thank you!"   — M

"What a terrific idea! Some time ago, I came across a list of 100 philosophy questions and I've been having my son 'warm up' in the morning by spending some time thinking about and answering 1 question a day before he starts his math lesson. I knew I'd need to come up with something different soon - or at least more questions, because he's almost through the list. Now, I'll just transition him over to this program. :)"   — J

"I downloaded the new weekly journal and it is fabulous! How do you have so much energy and unstoppable dedication to helping others? You are an inspiration. Thank you, thank you..."   — B

"Thanks so much for the free CTT Your Weekly Journal! I'm looking forward to getting my 14 year old son started on that Monday! I really believe it will give him lots of mini-lessons in history, art, etc. that he wouldn't get otherwise."   — C

"I have to echo the THANK YOU others have given you. This is a great resource for us right now. I've got one doing the 1st Step and the other doing the CtT. Both did it today with a minimum of fuss...amazing!"   — D

"I wanted to let you know how much my 8 year old daughter, Anna, is enjoying "The Daily Journal". I had never even considered doing anything besides basic stuff with her until this. I had had the idea for several years to just follow the calendar and get the different events off it and we'ld really be learning a bit of everything but now you went and provided it for us! Thank you sooooooooooooo much!

"Anna is really loving writing her thoughts down ( as I spell almost every word for her, because she wants to spell correctly, not because I ask her to). So it's not a private journal, yet, but I'm sure that will come eventually. I love seeing the sparkle in her eyes when she gets her ideas.

"This is truly one of your best!"    — G

"My 12 year old daughter wakes up in the morning and begins working on the journal reading and writing before I've had a cup of coffee. She seems to truly enjoy the process. I'm delighted because she is reading and exploring non-fiction topics. She reads voraciously and writes daily, but only fiction and usually fantasy. I asked her if she would like to write a review for you. Note that it wasn't an assignment. The following is her unedited, and voluntary review.

"I love Connect-a-thoughts because I learn so much from it! I simply loved the Doll's House assignment because I always have been fascinated with the events leading to woman's rights. It seems crazy women could ever be considered "Lower than men." It seems unimaginable! And I loved learning about Shakespeare, Mark Twain, and Charlotte Bronte, because writers seem to always live the most interesting lives. And around the Easter holidays I learned a lot, not just about my religion, but others too. History to me has always been enjoyable for me, and now I find myself learning more and more! —K"

"Thank you for providing this resource for us."    — T
