About the Author

Nancy Nicholson is one of the founding authors of Catholic Heritage Curricula. Equipped with an abundance of God-given talent, a major in Secondary Education–English, and years of experience homeschooling her own children, she has written over thirty educational titles, beginning with Little Stories for Little Folks. Her unique ability to develop programs and workbooks that “fit” both advanced and struggling students is due to her experience raising children of different ability levels and learning styles: two of her children are developmentally challenged, while another went on to graduate from Harvard and is now a college professor.

My daughter really enjoyed having a book that she could make her own. She enthusiastically wrote her own journaling after the stories in What Do You Like to Do which significantly improved her writing skills. The stories and sentence starters really motivated her. I greatly appreciate the character-building conversations that were started by this precious book, and it will make a lovely keepsake.

We are thoroughly enjoying What Do You Like to Do. My daughter, in first grade, loves the stories. They are the perfect length for a little lesson. Each of the stories gently and timelessly tells a tale of children enjoying the World God gave them. My daughter is having so much fun writing her own journal as prompted by each story. It now makes a beautiful keepsake journal!

My 7-year-old son was excited when he saw the chapter about a boy fishing and said, "That's me!" It went a long way in enticing him to try to read even though reading is frustrating for him. I was excited about the extra space between lines that makes it easier to read and the grey background that reduces eyestrain for dyslexics and children with sensory problems. Those two features really make it work for children who can not use many standard materials.

My twins are in the first grade and we are very much enjoying What Do You Like to Do. The stories are interesting and entertaining, and my twins love to take turns reading them to Mommy during school. I like the fact that the stories mention Catholic things and ideas here and there, as if they are normal and to be expected. The stories are long enough to actually tell a story, but not too long that the kids get frustrated. And, also very important, I don't get bored hearing the stories read more than once!
