The ELA Curriculum That Prepares Students for College
When it comes to choosing the best English Language Arts (ELA) curriculum for your homeschool, there are a lot of options—but only one stands out as both comprehensive and community-backed: Essentials in Writing (EIW).
Parents across the country consistently choose EIW not just because it’s clear, structured, and affordable—but because it works.
Take it from Kylie D., a homeschool mom whose daughter used EIW from 3rd through 11th grade. Today, her daughter is enrolled in early college—and thanks to EIW’s writing instruction, she was able to test out of college writing entirely. That’s not just a win for EIW—it’s a win for homeschool families everywhere.
So, what makes EIW so powerful when it comes to long-term success?
College-Ready Writing Starts Early
Essentials in Writing focuses on building foundational writing skills early and reinforcing them year after year. From grammar and sentence structure to paragraph construction and essay development, every lesson is designed with clarity and long-term retention in mind.
By the time a student reaches high school level EIW, they’ve already mastered:
- Persuasive, narrative, expository, and research-based writing
- MLA formatting
- Complex revision and editing skills
- Analytical thinking and clear communication
This structure directly prepares students for the demands of college entrance exams, dual-credit programs, and university-level writing.
It’s no wonder that students using EIW frequently score higher on the SAT and ACT writing portions, placing them ahead of the curve and reducing the need for remedial courses.
Real Teachers. Real Results.
While many ELA programs leave parents overwhelmed or students confused, EIW was created by a former classroom teacher who knows what clear instruction looks like. Lessons are taught via video, with step-by-step instruction that’s easy to follow, whether your child is a visual, auditory, or kinesthetic learner.
And if you choose to use EIW’s optional Scoring Service, you gain access to certified teachers who grade assignments and provide personalized feedback. It’s one of the only homeschool programs that mimics the support students would receive in a traditional classroom—but without the overwhelm.
That means your student is never just “completing assignments.” They’re learning from professionals—and growing.
Affordable, Flexible, and Designed for Success
Let’s be honest: homeschool materials can be expensive. But EIW was designed to be accessible for all families, no matter their budget. You get a full year’s worth of instruction, pacing guides, student workbooks, and teaching support at a fraction of the cost of private tutoring or other high-end programs.
EIW even offers streaming and physical options so you can choose the best format for your homeschool. Everything is designed to reduce friction—no more printing dozens of PDFs, no more confusing logins, no more expensive add-ons.
And the results speak for themselves. Families consistently report stronger confidence, improved grades, and college readiness after just one year with EIW—let alone an entire academic journey from elementary through high school.

One of the most powerful parts of using EIW is the community that comes with it.
