| Writing
Strands is a writing curriculum filled with challenging writing projects for home
schoolers. Assignments provide detailed, step by step instruction aimed at improving
writing skill. If you are new to the Writing Strands curriculum please see our Overview, and our Frequently Asked
Questions. See sample page of Level 2 Writing
Strands. Level 2 of Writing Strands is
the only book in the series from which parents must teach. The rest of the series is
written for and to the students, and the assignments are written in such a way that the
students can write independently introducing them to the writing skill. Level Two is a
manual for the parents of children about seven years old. It introduces the skill of
giving thoughts and experiences to others in written form. When a child can write by
himself (spelling doesn't count) a sentence similar to, "We live on the corner,"
or "The dog is big," that child is ready for this level. Even at this level, the
assignments produce reports, essays or pieces of fiction. This is an excellent way to
introduce the student to the writing skill.
The parents book, Evaluating Writing is strongly recommended for all levels of
Writing Strands. It can also be purchased separately if needed. Get more details
