This is a basic overall writing and grammar workbook / worktext. It DOES cover composition, essay, persuasive, fiction, etc... but it is not in depth. If you want more in depth, then you may want to supplement for a couple months. In our family, we work on 5 paragraph 1-2 page essays to use as a skeleton for larger projects. One 5 paragraph essay a day. At some point, we start a time limit such as 20 minutes to complete one. From there, papers are expanded to be larger and use this as the foundation. No short time limits for these though.
I always recommend praying for direction on which program(s) are best for each student and family. It makes a huge difference.
it is a required textbook at a private school for homeschoolers
BJU prepares kids for college by writing a paper every chapter. Interesting stories and facts are learned as you study grammar.
