Summary

I don't think there's a homeschool parent out there who would say that getting their kids to enjoy writing is easy. Today I am talking with Dr. Fred Lybrand who has been teaching writing for well over two decades (along with countless other pursuits). He is ALSO a homeschool dad of 5 grown kids and has a unique and sensible approach to helping our kids with writing. He shares several basic principles in this podcast that will make you shake your head and say, "Why didn't I think of that? It makes so much more sense now!" (Hint: simpler really is better!) If you are looking for a writing resource, this may just be a good fit for you. I invite you to listen and find out!(durendawilson.com)

1:06.9	So today, I'm going to jump right in because we all want to, I know we all want to hear about this,
1:13.0	but I have with me today, Dr. Lebrand. Is that how you say your name?
1:18.7	Well, I grew up in Alabama, so we kind of draw those vowels out. So it's Liebrand.
