I don't know if many of you know that we have a famous author or two blogging here at HSB. One of whom is SuzyScribbles. She has started another blog here at HSB designed especially for your relutctant writers.
www.homeschoolblogger.com/WritingWorkshop/ is for the benefit of all our homeschool kids. I know teaching kids to write is so hard for moms. I put together a writing workbook (Reach for the Stars), which I sell locally. But for HSB, I turned the pages into pdf files so bloggers can download them. I will post a lesson with downloads each Wednesday for 17 weeks (a semester's worth), starting this week.
It sounds like a wonderful class! Why not go check it out? It's free and easy to use. That's something homeschoolers like!

Thanks for posting this...
I just came over to see if you would post something about this to get more publicity for it on HSB, but I see you did! Thanks,

Thanks, Tia!
Thanks for the nice write-up. Teaching my own kids and other homeschoolers has been a passion for me the last 20 years. With my youngest just leaving the nest, the writing workshop is a perfect opportunity to continue helping kids learn to write--and have fun doing it. I hope lots of folks will take advantage of these lessons. ReviewsbyHeidi suggested I offer a certificate of completion for kids who complete the entire 17 lessons, since some states require portfolios. I think this is a great idea, and I plan to do that.
