Submit, submit, submit. Give your Spellers an opportunity to be published authors! Plus, spread messages of kindness and positivity to put a smile on other’s faces.

Kindness matters - in fact, it changes the world. Please write or show us what kindness means to you, and if possible, give an example. This could be an example of how you shared kindness or how it was shared with you.

Submissions of poetry, prose, or artwork for the literary magazing In Words We Trust can be sent to gktc.tribe@gmail.com by August 29th. Please include a photo of yourself and a short bio.

"Hi everyone. My name is Ben. I wrote this euphonic poem and asked if we could share it here. I want to inspire other Spellers to tap into the freedoms that creative writing brings. I hope this poem brings you peace."

Thank you Ben for sharing your beautiful words with us!

Words:
Running Water
By: Ben McDonald
Subtle swish of a running stream
Pools of wading water in small shore pockets
Drip drip as drops add to the depths
Life springs in the slow waters
Splash from salmon soaring
Swimming towards nests anew
The pebbles of peace shaped the scape
Giving this soft serene serendipitous view
Peace pools in my heart
The calm carries me to its river’s end

It's time to practice spelling at home and here is another free lesson to practice with. Learn all about Sea Shanties and maybe even try writing one of your own!

https://i-asc.org/lessons/maritime-melodies/

We highly encourage practicing at home for a few reason:
1. It is a priority to have communication at home
2. It generalizes your Speller's skills
3. It helps the CRP gain better support skills - like tracking letters and regulation strategies
4. It helps build Speller endurance and motor skills

Sail away to the destination of communication!
