As any homeschooling parent knows, finding the right-fit curriculum for a subject can be overwhelming and expensive. We make a purchase, thinking This is the one! only to be disappointed. Alternatively, a curriculum that works great with one child falls short with the next child. Writing curriculum in particular tends to leave much to be desired as the students still don’t seem to know what to do.
Let me settle things for you once and for all: IEW is the end of homeschooling parents’ search for a quality writing curriculum. Here’s why. First, while other writing curriculums start with a blank page, which often leads to a blank brain, IEW teaches students the process of HOW to write. Working through nine units of structure, students learn how to think from simple to complex levels and how to structure different types of writing. Second, IEW methodology applies to all grade levels. This provides your students with consistency and stability throughout their homeschooling years. Over the past thirty years, IEW’s methodology has proven to be effective with students of all ages and ability levels, including gifted students, those with learning differences and English language learners. No other curriculum can say the same thing.
Due to IEW’s many levels of support, it is easy to use. We generally recommend that families start with Structure and Style® for Students, our video-based courses. This way, both parents and children can learn the methodology from master teacher Andrew Pudewa. We encourage all parents to complete our teacher training seminar, Teaching Writing Structure and Style, to internalize the methodology. For a higher level of support, consider enrolling your child in one of the IEW Online classes taught by highly experienced accredited IEW instructors.
Finally, IEW provides excellent customer support. Through our weekly podcast, monthly webinars, and regular blog posts, you will find the answers to almost every question. If you cannot find the answer in one of those resources, IEW customer support agents are available during business hours to answer your questions via email, chat, or phone call. Most importantly, any product purchased directly from IEW.com is backed by our 100% no-time-limit satisfaction guarantee.
Truly, the search is over. IEW provides you with methods and materials you need to equip your students to be competent and confident communicators and thinkers.
