Dear Mr. Stephens, My children (grades 5, 7, & 9) completed Essentials in Writing for the first time last year. I have to say I wish I had known about this excellent program sooner. We have tried other writing programs that were “okay”, however, not only do I like the program, but the children do too.
Our transition to Essentials in Writing was very easy. I watched every single lesson of all three grade levels with each of my children and I like the clear, systematic, sequential approach along with clear expectations. The program is paced so that it is not overbearing and for us, the timing
was perfect as we are finishing up research projects/papers in May. I felt that each lesson was well thought-out and I’m confident that my children will have a solid foundation for writing when they graduate high school. I have and will recommend this program to anyone in the homeschool market!
On a side note, I also want to mention that your program has helped my seventh grade son who is a reluctant writer. The step-by-step approach with clear expectations helped him tremendously. Thanks again!
