Easy Writing 2007
By Wanda Phillips / Isha Enterprises, Inc

Use Easy Writing for lower/upper elementary or for junior high/high school basic skills; this two-leveled book contains level 1 in the beginner and level 2 at the back for optimal usefulness. Designed to help students write specific sentence structures, the lessons will begin to develop written expression skills such as items in a series, subordinate and participial clauses, relative clauses, semicolon construction and more. Two lessons are generally given for each discreet skill with repetition of instruction to allow for lessons to be spaced farther apart without students forgetting what they've learned. Answers are included; 474 pages, softcover.

We are almost done with our WriteAtHome class and we love it.  The teacher is wonderful.  Comments are to the point, and there are a lot of them, when needed. Each week a new topic is covered, the lessons are short but very informative.

Eva-Marie has learned quite a bit, and the best part is having someone else critique her work has built her self confidence. "I always thought you went easy on me because you are my Mom, now I know that other people think I can write, too!"  I have enjoyed watching her grow as a writer and expand her repertory of writing styles.  She is taking the High School level, one semester composition course.

WriteAtHome is an innovative middle and high school writing education program combining 21st Century technology with flesh and blood writing experts to offer challenging and comprehensive composition classes for middle and high school students.

Brave Writer has both an online program for elementary, middle school and high school children.  The book a writers jungle is GREAT for all ages.  There are MANY other books on the Brave Writer site that I love.  This is a must visit site.  There is a TON of free information on the Brave Writer site also, and I recommend reading it before buying anything.  I love this program so much I own it!
