Why More Families Are Choosing Essentials in Writing
In today’s homeschool landscape, choosing the right English Language Arts (ELA) curriculum can feel overwhelming. Parents want something that’s easy to teach, standards-aligned, and actually helps students enjoy writing—without causing stress or burnout.
Essentials in Writing (EIW) has emerged as a trusted leader in homeschool ELA for one powerful reason:
It actually works.
From neurodivergent learners to gifted students to struggling writers, EIW is built for all learners—and backed by results.
✅ Standards-Driven Success: Built for Academic Confidence
Unlike many programs that treat state and national standards as an afterthought, Essentials in Writing is designed with standards at its core. Every lesson is intentional, skill-driven, and aligned with what students are expected to master at each grade level.
This means your child isn’t just practicing writing—they’re building skills that translate directly into test success, strong essays, and real-world communication.
📚 Scope and Sequence Clarity: No More Curriculum Chaos
Let’s face it—some writing programs feel like they were thrown together overnight. With confusing pacing, disconnected lessons, and no clear path to mastery, it’s no wonder students get frustrated.
Essentials in Writing offers a crystal-clear scope and sequence. Each unit builds on the last, with repeated exposure, modeling, and meaningful practice. The result?
Long-term retention, not short-term memorization.
🧠 Personalized IEP Support: Built for Every Brain
Whether your child has autism, ADHD, dysgraphia, or is simply wired differently, you need a writing curriculum that adjusts to them—not the other way around.
Essentials in Writing supports IEP goals directly through:
- Differentiated pacing
- Scaffolded writing tasks
- Video-based lessons for visual and auditory learners
- Built-in checkpoints to monitor progress
With IEP-friendly planning already embedded into the structure, families can easily translate curriculum goals into individualized benchmarks.
🎯 Learning-Style Friendly: One Size Doesn’t Fit All
Some students need visuals. Others need step-by-step repetition. Some learn by hearing—others by doing. EIW honors those differences.
With video instruction, guided practice, and real writing projects, students get the multi-modal instruction they need to thrive—without being boxed into one teaching style.
🏆 Teacher-Tested, Student-Approved
Here’s what we hear over and over again from parents and educators alike:
“My child finally gets it.”
That’s because Essentials in Writing is built by a teacher, for real classrooms and homes. It blends what works best for students with what’s easiest for parents to manage—especially homeschoolers juggling multiple subjects and schedules.
✨ Real Curriculum, Real Results
This isn’t fluff. It’s not busywork. Essentials in Writing is a real writing curriculum that teaches real skills—and students respond to that clarity.
From sentence construction to full essays and research projects, each step is clearly modeled, practiced, and assessed. It’s a system that works.
📌 Ready for All Learners
Whether you’re teaching:
- A neurodivergent learner
