Why Essentials in Writing Is More Than Just Curriculum
When it comes to homeschooling English Language Arts, choosing the right curriculum can feel like a lonely, high-stakes decision. You’re not just selecting a program—you’re shaping your child’s future. At Essentials in Writing (EIW), we understand that. But we also know something else: parents shouldn’t have to do it alone.
That’s why EIW is more than just another ELA curriculum. It’s a movement. It’s a mindset. And most importantly—it’s a community.
Community Is the Missing Ingredient in Homeschool Curriculum
You can have the best scope and sequence in the world… but what happens when your child hits a wall in Week 5? Or when you’re unsure how to adapt a lesson for your neurodivergent learner? Or when you just need encouragement from someone who’s been there?
Other curriculum providers often leave you on your own, navigating confusing lesson plans, vague assessments, and rigid structures. At Essentials in Writing, we believe you deserve more. You deserve connection. You deserve a curriculum that teaches students—and supports parents.
That’s why so many homeschoolers are choosing EIW and never looking back.
What Makes EIW a Movement?
It’s not just because we provide:
- Aligned, sequenced, and focused lessons that drive real writing progress.
- Built-in scaffolding to support all types of learners.
- Video instruction from real educators—not actors reading a script.
- A scoring service with certified teachers offering constructive feedback.
Those are powerful features, but what truly sets us apart is our community-first approach.
Our Facebook Groups: 24/7 Support from Real Homeschool Families
EIW is proud to host a thriving network of private Facebook groups, where thousands of families connect daily to ask questions, swap advice, and celebrate progress.
Whether you’re using EIW Level 1 or Level 12, you’ll find:
- Active Q&A threads with experienced homeschoolers and EIW team members
- Tips for scheduling, grading, and modifying lessons
- Encouragement on hard days
- Real-time support during seasonal transitions, testing weeks, or mid-year burnout
These aren’t just support forums—they’re safe spaces to grow, ask anything, and know someone has your back.
Why Community Matters in Education (Especially for Homeschooling)
In traditional classrooms, students and parents benefit from peers, administrators, and face-to-face teacher interactions. Homeschooling doesn’t always come with that built-in safety net.
That’s why being part of a curriculum with a built-in, thriving community isn’t just helpful—it’s essential.
- For students, it means knowing their education is part of something larger. It builds confidence and accountability.
- For parents, it means never feeling stuck, alone, or unsupported.
- For families, it creates a rhythm of learning that’s sustainable and empowering—not stressful or confusing.
