I'm glad we did it when we did because she is a writer and spends much time writing and everything she learned through the course helped her to learn good writing habits. Much better to learn those young for an aspiring writer than to have to undo ineffective writing habits! Have you requested the free DVD? That might help you evaluate the teaching style and first lessons. Penny, My daughter has done very well and learned very much!

How did it go using it with a younger child? Thanks so much. I can't afford to invest this kind of money and it not work. My son is only 10 1/2 years old and is very interested in this curriculum.

Would you like to borrow the beginning instruction DVDs? You wouldn't need formal instruction, but you would need to be at a high school level in terms of being able to keep up with the writing assignments. For the first semester, it is all planning, in detail. The second semester, the student writes one chapter per week (12 total) -- but we can't keep up with this, and that's okay. It doesn't take much of my time. ;) Haniya watches the lesson on the DVD, reads the textbook, completes the assigment (whether workbook and/or actual writing). I check it over (hopefully) to see whether I think she's grasped it and completed the assigment well. There is a message board for the students to interact with one another and ask the teacher (Mr. Schwauber) questions. He's very available; Haniya has asked him several questions and she's made good friends there, even though she is younger than the others. I would be happy to loan you some of the DVDs for a couple weeks. The demo DVD should give you a good feel for it, though. Hope this helps! Love, Wardeh Kelli, I believe the program is very good.

It's challenging, and asks pretty tough questions sometimes, but, it's really great.

Has the grade level recommendation been right? Would you need formal writing instruction before using this, or is it good for anyone who has a passion for writing? Does it take much of your time, Wardeh? I sent for the free sample DVD, but there is nothing better than advice from someone who has used it. Please tell me about it. Thanks, Kelli Wardah and Haniya,
