We were saddened to learn of Ruth Beechick's death in late 2013. Ruth was a lifelong teacher, both in the classroom and as a curriculum writer. She was a mentor to the late Debbie Strayer, author of our Trail Guide to Learning series. Ruth's teaching philosophies heavily influenced Debbie's and helped shape the Trail Guide to Learning series. Ruth will be greatly missed. To honor Ruth and her contributions to homeschooling, we are giving away a copy of three of her books: The Three R's, You Can Teach Your Child Successfully, and Dr. Beechick's Homeschool Answer Book.

Be sure to use the Rafflecopter widget below to let us know that you’ve commented. Contest ends at 11:59 PM on Wednesday, February 5 and is open to U.S. residents only.

    We are new to homeschooling, new to TGTL & new to Ruth’s philosophies but what I’ve read so far I absolutely love! And would love to learn more by owning one of these books!

    Ruth was so very wise! Her philosophies have helped me to follow the lead of each child….to teach to their interests when they are ready to learn, & to put joy back into learning.

    I have only heard about her, not had the chance to read her books yet, but I have to teach one of our children to read this year and would love the encouragement!

    I gleaned wisdom from Language and Thinking for Young Children in the beginning of my homeschooling journey!
