I'm sure that, by now, you've heard of WriteShop ~ this is a company whose ads I have seen in TOS for many years.  WriteShop is an "incremental writing program" that will help your students to write well.  The WriteShop program is available as a set (containing materials for both teens and their parents) and will "set teens on a course for writing success as parents teach fundamental composition and editing skills in a step-by-step manner". 

Newly introduced to the WriteShop family is the WriteShop Primary program.  This program is geared toward children in the early elementary grades (1-3) and is a "gentle, fun-filled introduction to beginning writing skills".


Each member of the Homeschool Crew has received 2 sets of StoryBuilders to review.  What are StoryBuilders?  StoryBuilders are a really neat concept ...  available as an immediate download, the StoryBuilders sets are card decks that act as starting points for creative writing projects.  These StoryBuilders sets are appropriate for all ages of students and can be used in so many different ways.  "They provide students with the basic elements of a story - character, character trait, setting, and plot" - just what your children need to get started writing, and having fun while doing so!
