This month award-winning, best-selling author Tim Smith offers a timely perspective on how much we can believe when it comes to various medial outlets. His examples are very thought provoking with a dash of humor. Enjoy!
“Get your facts first, then you can distort them as much as you please.” – Mark Twain
I’m not sure how closely Mark Twain followed his own advice, but that quote can apply just as well to news writing as it does to fiction in this…

I haven't published a blog entry in quite some time. So I guess a report on some good reads of the past year would be a good place to start. Have a look. https://jrlindermuth.blogspot.com/

This book makes a compelling argument for the value of prayers in the lives of all believers regardless of religious persuasions. The non-believer can go to God in sincere prayer with a repentant heart; God will hear and answer if the prayer request aligns with the will of God. If one were to study prayer from an objective, psychological point of view, or even study prayer…

A recent event in the music business caused me to take brief pause in my writing. Singer/songwriter Paul Simon is quitting the business. Now, I’m not the hugest of Paul Simon fans. I do like his music, and his impact on folk rock history is solidified. It’s the reason why he’s quitting that has me, as an artist, very worried.
Paul just released his 13th solo…

The title of this post may be a bit misleading. It is not a lesson on winning the viral lottery. This is a curious plea for answers. I was surfing Facebook this morning and I came upon several videos that caught my attention causing me to pause and click. Two were funny animal posts (which I love), two were posts of people doing dumb things, and one was of a car accident (morbid sense of curiosity).…

Just a quick update to keep my followers in the cerebral loop. I'm working on a new book that is a stand-alone story but also book #2 in the End Time Series. It is based on an idea I've had and kept in the vault for years. The subject-- what lies after the end of existence.
As I've mentioned before the going is slow with this one due to the near…

Progress with my new novel is going slower than I anticipated. It’s hard to focus on storytelling during these long, lazy summer days. That’s okay… I feel content. It wasn’t always this way. Two decades ago, when I decided to focus my life energies on making it as a novelist, a slow-down like this would have driven me to the asylum. Thinking back, boy was I hungry to make it. Hour after hour, day after day, year after year… rain, snow, or sunshine, I would be in…

Wow… it’s been a while since I checked the visitor stats on my blog and I must say I am impressed at the amount of hits I have been receiving. Last month, my blog received more than 25,000 hits. That’s more than some book sites that sell advertising. Yesterday alone 1,350 people clicked on and checked it out. I sincerely appreciate the interest.…

Summer is finally here! That means a few months respite from all the homework folders, reading logs, and school newsletters parents have to check every day. Sadly, it’s also a time when many students forget some of what they’ve worked so diligently to learn. The good news is that there are many hands-on summer activities for parents who want to give their children an academic boost. Even students who excel in their studies could benefit from a refresher before fall rolls around.…

Between the Common Core State Standards and corresponding PARCC assessment (which will eventually be in lieu of the New Jersey ASK test), students are required to read more complex texts and answer questions that require a higher degree of critical thinking skills.

1) Snuggle up with a book
When you hold your infant close and take a gander at a book together, your child will appreciate the cuddling and listening to your voice and in addition the story. Feeling protected and secure with you while taking a gander at a Book constructs your child's certainty and adoration for perusing.
2) Pick child well-disposed books…

The Common Core Standards require that “by the end of the year, [the student will] read and comprehend literature [and informational text] with scaffolding as needed at the high end of the range” (www.corestandards.org). Along with this standard are other related objectives that require active reading skills.
How, then, can we promote active reading among our students?…

As parents, we often worry about how we can actively help ours children’s education. Most of us aren’t teachers; we do not work in schools. In fact, we do not always even understand the standards they are supposed to learn, let alone know how to help them. But there is one activity we can do regularly that keeps us engaged with our kids, and helps their education at the same time: reading.
Reading is the most important academic activity you can do with your child.
When you read…

The story is an imaginary or real people and events told for entertainment. A story plays a vital role in progress and development of children. The books they read and the characters they get to know can be their friends. Reading helps children to boost their confidence level. Stories are a great way to introduce new words and ideas. Stories are also useful for teaching more complex ideas such as sharing, wisdom, and compassion for others. Reading stories can be helpful for relaxation,…

When teaching strategies, hints and clues about how to discover the main idea of a paragraph, it is best to begin with teaching the “wh-words.” Wh-words are those words that begin questions that are asked to gather information; for example, who, what, which, how, etc. Talk about detectives and police officers, who make a list of clues to help them get to the solution to crime puzzle; to solve a mysterious case. List them on the board allowing students to tell the class what each word means,…
