Can you tell us a little bit about yourself? Living in Colorado I enjoy walking, hiking, and cross country skiing in the mountains. When not writing, I enjoy traveling, cooking, quilting, crocheting, and painting, I included my experiences of 30 years of public school teaching, raising children of my own, and articles written for on-line and hard copy publications -within the pages of Learning at home.
What was the most difficult part of writing your book? Deciding what to leave out, I finally decided there would need to be a second book.
What are you working on now? I currently am working on the second in the Learning at home series and a children’s book.
What blogs do you belong to and are they blogs that support you book. What is the address to your book? I am the Parenting and Education Examiner at http://www.examiner.com/parenting-and-education-in-national/rhonda-cratty. The address for my book is: http://www.amazon.com/dp/1494917203.
When did you join PnPAuthor? I just joined PnP this spring. Not only are they very helpful, but I am starting to connect with other authors.
When did you write your first book? What lead you to do so? I spent 30 years gathering information for my book and last year writing it. What I learned in countless parent/teacher conferences is all parents are busy. Both working and stay at home parents want information of ways to help their children at their fingertips. So I wrote Learning at Home as a resource for all parents to find ideas, homework help, lists of books, recipes, and more.
Do give parents talking points on the topics to help them share information with their children? Yes, for example on October #2 I have exactly how to talk about your thinking to lead your child to higher order thinking, and then conversation starters.
Do the activities need supplies? If so do you have a supply list for the activities to make it easier for parents? I do provide the supply lists, however...the reason for the picture on the cover is to show parents that parents can things use things they have around the house.
Is there a list of book titles with authors that parents could support the themes with? All throughout the book are lists of books on all subjects.
When talking to parents what do you tell them is the biggest benefit of “Learning at Home”? Learning at home by Rhonda Cratty is a new parent resource, filled with ideas to help children become the best they can be. Daily activities for family fun, that make subjects become more than pencil and paper, moving learning into everyday life.
Learning at home can be purchased in print or eBook form through Amazon.com. https://www.createspace.com/4605718 http://www.amazon.com/dp/1494917203
