Of Special Interest

Learning Disabilities (LD) is the largest category of disabilities in U.S. schools. The individual and social implications of those disabilities — and the varied abilities that often accompany them — are often poorly understood by those who do not have learning disabilities, as well as by those who do.

Legacy of the Blue Heron is a uniquely enlightening,
entertaining, moving introduction to learning disabilities.

Legacy of the Blue Heron:

Living with Learning Disabilities

by Harry Sylvester

This engaging book is a personal account of learning about and coping with learning disabilities. Harry Sylvester began his life as a dyslexic child from a small town in western Maine. He became an engineer, businessman, boat-builder, and president of the Learning Disabilities Association of America. From his experiences, he offers wise advice for dealing with many of the problems faced by students, parents, working adults, and educators. The library journal CHOICE says,

Don’t miss out! There is only a limited supply of these Rosalie Hall items. Once they’re gone, no more will be available!

Several years ago, Oxton House acquired a stock of delightful maze booklets. They are the work of the late Rosalie Hall, a talented artist with a flair for children’s designs.

Amazing Critters — 12 animal mazes, one a double-page spread

Through the Year — 12 mazes, each one on a theme of the month

These two beautifully hand-drawn booklets help children develop hand-eye coordination and spatial perception while having fun. The maze pictures can also be used for coloring. To see the contents and some samples from each booklet, click on its title.

We also have the last remaining copies of Rosalie Hall’s Creative Resource Book, a treasure-trove of practical ideas and cutout artwork for homeschoolers and classroom teachers alike.

“Sylvester’s struggles, defeats and finally, life success are treated with candor and humor and are an inspiration to all who have or work with those who have learning disabilities. Bravo Harry!”
