  • Today we're going to review a digital writing and literature program for homeschool that I just absolutely LOVE. Essentials in Writing is a homeschool writing and literature curriculum that can be used from Kindergarten through 12th grade and teaches grammar, writing and more. The program includes video lessons combined with lessons that you can download and print at home. My 9 year old has been making a TON of progress with her writing skills since we started this program. So I'm really excited to share it with you today!

    I’ve been using it for 3 grades (years) now! It’s been great! We’ve been using the upper grades so I also purches Essentials in Literature.

      It's awesome, I wish I'd found it sooner! I'll definitely get the literature portion when we get there.

    Hi, Thank you. This is helpful. Have you reviewed the IEW programs, Fix It Grammar and Style and Structure? I’d love to compare.

      I have been meaning to, thanks for the reminder! I want to compare them too!

      ​@@AmandaMelroseDo you plan on posting a video of the comparison mentioned above soon?

    This looks good. I wonder if there is an alternative website where everything is online, no workbooks.

      I did a review of Night Zookeeper recently. That's completely online. But it's still important imo that kids get handwriting practice in some form.

    I realize it’s child specific as each child works at his/her own pace but was wondering about how much time is spent on each lesson?

    What is the “assessment” version like for the course? When the student completes an assignment, how do they get evaluated?

    • @AmandaMelrose
      @AmandaMelrose  4 місяці тому +1

      These will be quizzes and unit tests that the student will complete at various points throughout the program. The parent will evaluate/grade them. They also have a scoring service for the compositions that are done in the higher levels.

    Hello, I am an immigrant parent with a very low level of English. I can't grade writing. Is there any program that automatically grades writing or provides advice? Also, will the program you explained be graded on the answer sheet?(G3,G7 children)

    • @AmandaMelrose
      @AmandaMelrose  Місяць тому

      This program offers a scoring service, but otherwise, since the work is done offline, it would need to be graded by the parents. Something fully online might be better suited for your needs. You might want to take a look at Night Zookeeper.

    So, the print option means we have to print it ourselves? Or does it mean that they send printed material?

    • @AmandaMelrose
      @AmandaMelrose  2 місяці тому +1

      If you choose digital only then you need to print it, if you choose digital and print then you get the videos online but they will send you the printed materials.

    How many days a week would this program require?

    • @AmandaMelrose
      @AmandaMelrose  Місяць тому

      We did it about 3 days a week last year but it didn't take a whole school year. I'd say 2 days a week would be good..

    My daughter is grade 7. Do you recommend starting grade level?

    • @AmandaMelrose
      @AmandaMelrose  6 місяців тому +1

      Most likely, but I recommend you review the full standards guides for the grade level below, above and her grade level and pick the one that most closely matches what she should be working on. You can find it on their website under resources, curriculum guides.
