Teacher’s Manual for WriteShop I & II (5th ed)

What Parents Are Saying…

WriteShop gives you so much help that it is surprisingly easy to critique the student’s writing. Each lesson has specific instructions for the teacher as to what problems to look for and how to help the student correct them. My dd’s writing has become much more clear, interesting, and persuasive.

Thank-you for taking the fear out of teaching writing.

This is an awesome program. I started it last year with my 7th grade daughter, and now she is moving on to the second year. This year my 6th grade son started using it. I am appreciating many helpful things the second time through that I didn’t notice the first time … I have seen great progress in both my kids, and will continue to use the program with the next 2.

What I like about WriteShop is it is so organized, and very teacher and student friendly. It not only teaches the student how to write but the teacher how to teach. I can actually see the purpose of each assignment and how it will lead the student in becoming a better writer.

My biggest delight in any curriculum is to find mom-friendly guides and also objective forms of evaluation. WriteShop has both. Because you have designed it so well, I can use the format with all three children I homeschool. It covers most learning styles.

We have had two children from our “Yellow School House” graduate from high school and move on to college. They have done very well on their college papers, essays, etc. I give most of the credit to WriteShop for helping me teach them so well!

There is no perfect writing program, that’s for sure. But for a mom who’s insecure about her role in teaching or grading this subject, WriteShop does a splendid job. You can tell these home school moms who know what other home school moms need!

As for writing, I think my favorite is Write Shop. From brainstorming to final draft, it offers tools to help you teach and evaluate with confidence. It’s packed with ideas, prewriting activities, thorough explanations, as well as samples. What I really like is that it focuses on using precise vocabulary, sentence variety, and clarity, while offering a solid writing foundation in incremental lessons.

Thank you so much for putting together the WriteShop curriculum. It is easy to use, and your method takes the mystery out of writing. I particularly like the evaluation sheets which make grading less subjective. I always felt like my daughter was a good writer, but I didn’t know how to push her to the next level. Thanks again for sharing your skills and expertise with the rest of us.
