Hi, I’m Kasandra — a homeschool mom of two boys who learned in completely different ways. DexteDoodle grew out of watching my four-year-old build his own writing tool from a Lego, a pencil, and a rubber band.

These are the stories I wished I’d had: one tale your child gets to live — read it, color it, maze it, and draw themselves right into it — with every page tied to a named kindergarten-readiness skill, so you can point to a finished page and know they’re growing.
