This book starts our simply enough then... WHAM! We just hit page 42 and all of a sudden (as my son was reading to us) the book began to discuss abortion and homosexual marriage. There was no warning whatsoever. I was shocked as this book was suited for elementary students. Those were topics I wanted to cover when the time was right, not when the author thought it was best. Boo!

This seems like a good program, but my daughter hates to write. My goal right now is to get her to simply write. I'm not concerned about whether is has an intriguing introduction, hooks the reader, etc. I just want her not to panic when she see's a blank sheet of paper. So, we're holding off on this program for now. Maybe in January or next year. Instead, I'm having her write down topics that interest her as they come up. Every day, she'll write in a journal for 10 minutes. I don't care what she writes about as long as she's writing, to get over that fear. So far it's working. This will be great to sharpen her skills later.

Has realistic and student directed activities which target the writing process in small bites without being threatening. The quidebook for teachers is useful but not as easy to follow. Takes some study to get the directions. I love the format of the Jump In for kids. Not a lot of time each day but practice they like.

What an amazing book! This book puts the writing process into a child's view without being "babyish". It makes it fun, engaging, and easier to understand than others I have looked at. Using this product, along with the teachers book, will encourage your child to write instead of making it a chore. I highly recommend this! I would get the set though, so you have the teachers manual also. It will be a wonderful addition to your learning!

We have used many writing books in the past. This is the best, least painful writing book we have used.

I purchased this for my 12 yr old son. I looked at several other writing programs but came back to this one because this is how I learned to write in school. I took my son out of public school at the end of his 6th grade year this summer and one of my concerns was his lack of writing ability. He hates writing but enjoys this so far!

This is another fantastic addition to Apologia's line of home school materials. My son has always had a very strong opinion about writing, "I hate it". Since beginning the Jump In curriculum he has actually written. Although I don't believe I will hear, "I love writing", this program has made writing manageable for him and he does the daily work without complaint, and as Mom that is a major accomplishment! Thank you Apologia!!

Initially I was not that impressed by this workbook, but I have changed my opinion. After my ds, (reluctant writer age 13) started using this daily, I have witnessed his writing ability skyrocket. As a parent I am thrilled! This book is laid out in a very basic, step-by-step process that he has grasped very well. Writing was always easy for me, so it has been hard to teach. This book has filled in the knowledge in the areas that I couldn't fill before. I would highly recommend this book for any middle/high school struggling writer. I would also recommend the teacher's manual to any home school parent as it explains how to grade/evaluate writing. Both good books!
