Do you have co-op teachers, church teachers, scout leaders, or other adults working with your dysgraphic child regularly, and you wish you had a way to explain some things about dysgraphia to them?
Dyslexic Advantage has created a really nice graphic representation of the issues related to dysgraphia, and includes tips for how to best help them thrive in a classroom setting.  This card is available as a free PDF download, or you can pay a nominal fee for printed ones to be sent to you. What a great tool to share with others!

Â (If you’ve been working through our Jazz Composers collection, you will notice many familiar jazz references!)

Earlier this month I shared with you a video I came across of ancient Sumerian music. Â This time I’ve got some really beautiful ancient Mesopotamian music for you!
From what I’ve read, this is considered by some people, at least, to be the oldest song we know of!  It is called Hurrian Hymn No. 6 which was being enjoyed by folks way back in 1400 BC!  This is really well-done and sounds just beautiful.
