WriteShop I offers incremental lessons, challenging assignments, and creative activities for teens.

Students improve descriptive, informative, and narrative writing skills by becoming proficient in four vital techniques: brainstorming, drafting, editing, and revising. Not only do students learn to narrow their topics and choose vivid, descriptive wording, they learn to add interest to their writing by varying their sentence structure.

Each lesson's Skill Builder introduces new writing tools, which students have the opportunity to apply during future lessons. This "Learn-Practice-Do" approach helps ensure mastery.

View Schedule Options for WriteShop I & II

Though ideal for most 6th-10th graders, WriteShop I works successfully with older high schoolers who need to learn these skills. The program's incremental nature also makes it an excellent option for teens with learning challenges.

In most cases, it is recommended that students complete this level before beginning WriteShop II.

A good thesaurus is essential for WriteShop students. The Synonym Finder is our favorite thesaurus, and we highly recommend it for use with the WriteShop program.

What Parents Are Saying…

Thank you again for such a spectacular curriculum. My kids love it and I love the results!
Coleen, homeschooling parent

This program has taken the frustration out of teaching my son to write. He knows exactly what is expected of him and I know exactly how to correct his work. He enjoys writing now!
Rhonda, homeschooling parent

First paragraph my son wrote was breathtaking! does not like writing. At all. We’ve struggled all year long with it, and I’ve had no idea how to even grade it, and what his 7th grade expectations were. This program makes it all crystal clear. From the brainstorming exercises, to the actual end product, I am very pleased.
A. Rollins, homeschooling parent

Your curriculum is fabulous! We love it. Our son has really progressed tremendously.
Vanessa, Florida

My children are using your program this year … and I must tell you how impressed my husband and I have been with their progress! We were especially surprised at how our son’s vocabulary and writing skills have improved. The changes began to appear after the very first section! We have been searching for a writing program that was homeschool friendly, and after trying many different programs we have found yours to be the best.
Sue, California

Write Shop has been a wonderful program for us. I don’t think my dyslexic daughter would have ever learned to write without it!
Dena, Tennessee

Thank you, WriteShop, for giving my daughter the tools she needed for a successful college experience.
Patti, California

Quality in every lesson gives this program a push above so many others out there. I really appreciate the Skill Builders that teach what will be expected in the composition. It’s this ‘learn, practice, use’ approach that brings out the quality.
Nancy S., Michigan

We’ve been faithfully following all the steps with Write Shop and I have to say that I’m thrilled to see the method’s sticking.
Diane Allen, Diane Allen Homeschool Reviews

For the first time since I started homeschooling 8 years ago, able to help my children learn to write efficiently, clearly, creatively, effectively … I think it’s the most parent and child friendly writing program out there! I wish I had been taught this way! I can’t rave enough about this program … My son’s first final draft paragraph was written beautifully. I was amazed at the talent my son seems to have found within due to this program!
thecrowleygirl, HomeschoolReviews.com

My oldest loves words and flowery long sentences—so much so that she loses her meaning in the process. WriteShop helped her think about each word she used. It forced a disciplined structure.
Beth, Ohio

My eldest daughter is in college and while writing her first composition, she thanked me for providing her with Write Shop. She says that with your program she has learned to write with ease.
Deanne, California
