Many students struggle with writing. Think about it—writing involves juggling grammar, spelling, sentence structure, logic, and knowledge. That’s a lot of elements to keep in mind for beginning writers! And that’s why Sandra Garant, author, certified teacher, and homeschool mother, developed Writing Workshops.

Ages 9 to 12 may begin with Workshop Levels I and II. These lessons teach basic writing structures and some grammar. Children will enjoy the reading resources and games that provide a warm-up to the writing assignment. Then they practice writing riddles, creating sound effects, using repetition, adding dialogue, and developing characters and plots. Self-evaluation questions guide parents and children toward the essential elements of each assignment.
