Dear Readers,

How does language change over the time? The words we use now are different than the words we read on the Declaration of Independence, written over 200 years ago. How can we read these old documents and understand them in today’s world?Today, we’re going to talk about some strategies for reading such challenging texts. It’s important that you’re challenging yourself to read complex and difficult texts. That’s the only way you’ll grow as a reader. Plus, some of the best stuff is found in difficult texts.

While language changes over the time, math is timeless. The factors of 18 have not changed since 18 has been around, and those factors won’t change in the future. That’s what makes math such a fascinating field of stuff: it reveals truths about something fundamental about the world.

Sincerely,

Mr. Heimbuck
