We have been using Essentials in Writing for four years in our homeschool and my son just finished his first year of college and writing was a breeze. After he submitted his first essay, his English professor pulled him aside and asked him where he attended school because his essay was written so well. I can write well, but I really struggle teaching writing to my children and with Essentials in Writing, I don’t have to. The small chunks, as you call them, and the video lessons make writing so easy. I was a little worried because he only completed levels 9-11, but I can see he was well prepared. I just wanted to let you know! Thank you Essentials in Writing!
