For many homeschool families, writing is the hardest subject to get right.
It’s not just the technical skills—it’s the emotional resistance, the daily frustration, and the uphill battle to get even a single sentence down on paper. It’s a common story… but it doesn’t have to be permanent.
Just ask Daphne S., a homeschool mom who watched her son go from dreading writing to actually enjoying a full research project by the end of the year:
“My son hated writing, and it was like pulling teeth to get him to even write a single sentence. We started homeschooling this year, and I’m so glad I found Essentials in Writing! Not only have my son’s writing skills improved tremendously, but his attitude towards writing is so much better! He actually enjoyed the big research project at the end of the book. This has been the best program, and we’ll for sure be continuing with level 4 next year!”
This kind of transformation isn’t just luck—it’s what happens when a curriculum is designed to work with real kids, real families, and real struggles.
Why Struggling Writers Aren’t the Problem
When a student consistently avoids writing, the issue usually isn’t laziness or lack of intelligence—it’s a curriculum that doesn’t meet their needs.
Many writing programs:
- Jump into advanced concepts without scaffolding
- Assume students already know how to organize ideas
- Move too fast for mastery
- Lack clear modeling and structure
- Rely too heavily on parent teaching or correction
The result? Kids shut down. Parents feel like they’re failing. And writing becomes a source of stress for the whole family.
Essentials in Writing (EIW) was built to break that cycle.
How EIW Helped Turn Writing Into a Win
Daphne’s story is powerful because it showcases all the key things that make EIW successful:
✅ Short, Clear Lessons
EIW breaks writing down into bite-sized pieces that students can actually process. No more 45-minute lectures or massive assignments. Just one focused step at a time.
✅ Video-Based Instruction
Instead of relying on the parent to teach, EIW uses engaging video lessons that model exactly what the student needs to do. This relieves pressure and gives students visual, auditory, and procedural clarity.
✅ Built-In Structure and Scaffolding
Each concept is introduced, modeled, practiced, and reinforced—so students build real mastery before moving on.
✅ Support for All Types of Learners
Whether your child is neurodivergent, reluctant, gifted, or somewhere in between, EIW offers the pacing and delivery style to help them succeed.
Confidence That Builds Over Time
What’s especially exciting in Daphne’s testimonial is her son’s turnaround in attitude—not just ability.
He didn’t just get better at writing…
He started enjoying it.
“He actually enjoyed the big research project at the end of the book.”
That shift is critical. When students feel empowered, not defeated, by their assignments, they become more willing to try, more open to feedback, and more invested in their progress.
That’s when real academic growth begins.

Parents like Daphne are choosing EIW because it:
- Takes the pressure off the parent
- Works for all learning styles
- Improves writing through routine, modeling, and consistency
- Focuses on real-world writing skills
- Leaves students feeling confident, not confused
And perhaps most importantly: it works.
