Sure that’s great, and you might be great at accounting etc. It’s like being really really good at math drills. I think in most cases it’s sucks all the passion out of writing- it turned it into a formula rather than a means of creative expression.
Ok- so my reply is totally biased because I love love love Brave Writer. They'll learn what an adverb is and how to use it, what who-which and because clauses are, etc, but it is not a complete grammar program. They will learn some grammar though the writing program. Just an encouragement on that end of it.Īlso, IEW writing doesn't teach grammar concepts, I like their grammar Program (Fix It) which can be done alongside their writing program (or separately from it - they are not connected to each other). The more they edit the better they'll get at doing it the first time. It's normal and I (meaning, the mom) shouldn't stress perfect spelling on drafts just like I wouldn't expect perfect grammar, punctuation, etc on a draft. I don't expect perfect spelling on her first draft of a paper she goes back and corrects the spelling after getting her ideas down. My DD STILL has a hard time with it in 7th grade. Spelling correctly while trying to write a complete sentence is multi-tasking. Just to let you know, it is very normal for a kid not to be able to multi-task while writing. IEW is perfect for a kid who struggles with WHAT to write. Then if it doesn't work you can do brave writing with no loss. The refund! If you do not like excellence in writing or fix-it grammar you can get a 100% moneyback guarantee with that company. Not only because I like the program, but for one more reason I recommend Excellence first. However we use Fix-it Grammar alongside of Excellence in Writing. This is the difference between Brave Writer and Excellence in Writing.Įxcellence does include elements of grammar. You would stand beside the child and show him how to do it. You wouldn't send your child alone into the kitchen with all the utensils, gear, food, and recipes. The student develops a voice in the writing by first looking at examples of good writing. You look at examples of excellent writing and then learn how to modify it to make it personal. I think Charlotte would approve of the modeling. I actually would not call Excellence in Writing the opposite of a Charlotte Mason approach.
