Finally! Yay! Has anyone used Just Write? The publisher of Mystery of History is talking about putting together a beta LA program to go with MOH1. Well, I didn't realize that WP's LA program also coordinates with their history. They use Just Write for their writing. MOH is planning to use R&S for their grammar (YAY! WP uses Grammar Cop). I don't know what else they plan to use, but WP uses SpellWell (we use Spelling Power), and Words Are Wonderful (which is what we use). They also use the Handwriting for a Reason series, whereas we were planning to use Getty-Dubay (but haven't started yet). Anyway. Since we're taking the summer off, I've been thinking more about these things.
I haven't used that program. Just wanted to add my 2 cents.....Our son has progressed by leaps and bounds since we started using Andrew Pudewa's program - The Institute for Excellence in Writing. www.writing-edu.com It is a DVD program that I wish existed when I was a kid! He takes the drudgery out of writing, and really teaches how to create quality work. There is a DVD program for the parent: Teaching Writing Structure and Style - which covers all of the levels of the student DVDs Then, the student DVD sets come in 3 different levels. "Student Writing Intensive" Level A (generally for grades 3-5) Level B (6-8) Level C (high school) Sorry if this is too much information...but I think it is an excellent program, and worth looking into!!
Thanks! I've seen that one. It's just WAY WAY out of budget for us. Plus, we need something really basic to deal with some processing stuff.... I've looked all over and this is the first I've seen that I really, really liked! Yay! (And, I'm secretly hoping that BIP will include it with their MOH LA beta program! LOL)
