The writing process can feel daunting for both students and parents—especially in a homeschool setting. From brainstorming and drafting to revising and publishing, it’s easy for a parent to wonder:
“How much of this do I have to manage myself?”
The answer, when you’re using Essentials in Writing (EIW):
Far less than you think.
At EIW, we believe the writing process shouldn’t be overwhelming—not for the student and not for the parent. Our program is designed to guide students through each stage of writing with clear instruction, built-in support, and minimal parental intervention.
What Is the Writing Process—and Why It Matters
Strong writers aren’t born—they’re taught. And great writing doesn’t come from a single draft. That’s why educators rely on the five-step writing process:
- Prewriting – Brainstorming, organizing, and planning ideas
- Drafting – Getting thoughts onto paper without worrying about perfection
- Revising – Restructuring and improving ideas, flow, and clarity
- Editing – Fixing grammar, punctuation, and spelling
- Publishing – Finalizing the piece and sharing or submitting
It’s a powerful framework—but only if it’s taught properly and with consistency.
That’s where Essentials in Writing excels.
How EIW Guides Students Through the Writing Process—Step by Step
Every Essentials in Writing level is built to lead students through the full writing process, one manageable piece at a time.
Each lesson includes:
- Short, focused video instruction
- Teacher modeling of the exact step (from idea generation to sentence combining and essay structure)
- Clear assignments that align directly with the skill just taught
- Review and revisiting to reinforce concepts
- Guidance for self-editing, revising, and refining
No more guessing what “draft” or “revise” really means. No more blank stares at a prompt. With EIW, students learn how to write by watching it happen first—then practicing it in small, confidence-building chunks.
