Kids love WriteShop, but did you know moms love it too? This is what 20 homeschool moms had to say about WriteShop.

1. Extraordinary Fun!

My kids and I love the fun, engaged, and hands-on writing lessons WriteShop Junior provides. The days we have our writing lessons are so exciting! My favorite part is to brainstorm their writing together and then watch my kids edit their writing on their own. Our lessons are so much fun it doesn’t even feel like we’re doing school at all.

2. Writing Mastery

Teaching writing or coming up with creative writing ideas can be a challenge. Thankfully I found WriteShop I & II. There is always something to write about now! My kids love writing about all the different holidays and topics. I love that my middle & high school kids are mastering writing.

3. Not Overwhelming

I love that WriteShop is not overwhelming for a new writer! It starts out slow and gives the kids all the tools that they need so that they can slowly build on what they know to become great writers.

4. WriteShop Gets It

We love WriteShop because they get it when it comes to not overcomplicating the writing process. WriteShop also knows that our children are better engaged when the lessons are simple yet effective. WriteShop makes language arts painless for the whole family.

5. Teaching Students and Parents Together

My favorite thing about WriteShop is how it teaches students to write while also helping parents teach writing. I’m grateful for the step-by-step skill building lessons for students, but having that guidance for editing and evaluating, addressing errors, and providing constructive comments makes the role of writing mentor a lot more manageable!

6. Confidence

WriteShop has taken the guesswork out of teaching writing to my kids. I love that the lessons are completely planned out—even down to the words to say. This curriculum has boosted my confidence as the teacher and made our lessons stress-free and enjoyable!

7. Constructive Feedback

One of the main things I love about WriteShop I & II is how well it equips you as the parent to evaluate and grade your child’s writing. The multiple pages of specific positive and encouraging comments help you be both constructive and uplifting, going beyond just “Great job” and “Nice work!”

8. Structure with Flexibility

We’ve tried a number of other writing programs and they all fell off in one of two ditches. Either they were too rigid and didn’t allow for any creativity, or they were so flexible I wondered if my kids were actually gaining any measurable writing skills. Write Shop offers structured learning with flexible options!

9. WriteShop Makes Essays Easy

My teens have used WriteShop in a homeschool co-op class, and it’s been great. But why take my word for it? My son says, “WriteShop’s simple, easy to understand revising checklists helped me revise my essays and greatly improved my writing skill. The grammar worksheets were always fun to work through, and they made concepts understandable.” My daughter says, “I love the organization of WriteShop, with clear, direct checklists and assignments.”

10. A Teacher’s Toolkit

The WriteShop I & II Teacher’s Manual gave me all the tools I needed to ensure my son became a skilled writer. It turned me into a confident writing teacher!

11. Creative Freedom with a Solid Foundation

We love WriteShop because it gives my daughters the freedom to be creative while still providing a solid framework for developing strong writing skills. WriteShop provides the essential elements of successful written communication: creativity blended with structure.

12. Montessori Meets Charlotte Mason

For my highly visual hands on learners, WriteShop’s games and graphics keep their attention to make them forget they don’t like writing.

13. Incremental Approach

I love the incremental nature of WriteShop I. Many of the assignments are no longer than two to three paragraphs, giving students the opportunity to build mastery on a foundational level before attempting to produce longer compositions and reports. We can see real progress through small projects that feel completely manageable.

14. Empowers Me as a Teacher

WriteShop’s programs have not only given our children a strong writing foundation, but they have also taught me how to instruct them in the writing process, evaluate their work, and offer constructive feedback.

Jolanthe Erb from Homeschool Creations.

15. Strong Writing Foundation

WriteShop helped give all four of my children the writing foundation they needed to take them through high school, college, and beyond. It also provided me all the tools and encouragement I needed to be confident in teaching.

16. Enthusiastic Writers

WriteShop Primary and Junior took my kids from reluctant writers, who would do anything to avoid writing lessons, to enthusiastic writers who are excited to see writing on their daily agenda! The high-interest lessons make writing their favorite part of the homeschool day!

17. Fun for Kids & Easy for Parents

When it comes to a writing curriculum that works for both me and my kids, I look for three things. Is it fun and engaging for my kids? Is it easy for me to teach? Will it make my kids better writers? WriteShop answers every single one of the questions with a resounding yes!

18. Plenty of Practice

I also love the quantity and quality of writing skills practice that WriteShop I & II includes. There are three included in each lesson, and each builds on the last. These are a fabulous way for kids to practice skills that they can use over and over in their writing.

19. Prepares Teens for College Writing

Last fall, both girls enrolled at a local university for dual credit classes. They both tested out of Intro to Composition, which we recently discovered is not a common accomplishment. Furthermore, [our oldest] has completed college Composition 1 and 2, both with As. We are sure that this success is directly related to their experience with WriteShop.
