ums5 Stars Out Of 5Working Well for my Third GraderOctober 6, 2018umsQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5We just started homeschooling my third grader in third grade. He was a reluctant writer, so we decided to begin at level two. It was the right choice. He had zero experience with dictation or copywork prior to this. In just a few weeks, I've seen a lot of improvement in his ability to narrate back in complete sentences, remember a dictation sentence, and do copywork. He was a lazy, hurried writer before--with illegible writing. For whatever reason, he is quite proud of his work--so spends the time to ensure that his handwriting looks good. It's been a great choice for our family. I think the push to make kids write paragraphs in Kindy....and rush to various types of writing without learning what good writing looks like is a mistake. I feel confident that going through this program through fifth grade for us, and then perhaps going on to IEW is the right choice for our family.

vstrineGeorgiaAge: 35-44Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Easy, gentle approach to writingApril 2, 2011vstrineGeorgiaAge: 35-44Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5We are only on week 7, but my 2nd grade daughter loves this program. Before we found this book, she would complain every time I mentioned the word writing. Now she happily pulls this book out. I love the gentle approach to writing (with a bit of grammar added as well). She enjoys the narratives so much that we have had to check several of the titles out from the library. I wish I had found this writing program sooner!
