This pick-up-and-go course guides students systematically through writing with an emphasis on grammar. Students develop their composition skills step by step. Font size and writing space is large and tasks are manageable. Students begin with letters, spacing between words, and more sentence-level concepts. Then students practice writing various types of sentences, noting which ones are complete and incomplete. Students are introduced briefly to declarative, interrogative, exclamatory, and imperative sentences. Students learn to carefully handle nouns, adjectives, and action verbs. All these concepts prepare students for writing the personal assignments: a letter, a narrative, and finally, an imaginative narrative. The course follows a 34-week plan. Students spend about 10-15 minutes writing daily. ~ Ruth
Ive heard AMAZING things about this program so Im going to give it a try
chose based on the review in Cathy Duffy top 100 homeschool picks
I wanted to give a solid start and foundation of language art to my daughter and based on all the positive reviews I am looking forward to use it.
My 2nd grader is a struggling writer and this looks like it will slowly help him in a easy fashion without frustrating him.
