    My daughter has loved using this program. I give her the option to use whatever chapter books she chooses whether from my shelf or the library and she has flown through the curriculum and her writing level has increased tremendously!!
    A wonderful approach to writing
    Review by Kari
    I was looking for a new approach to writing that would be effective and yet help my kids become excited over writing. This is when I found writing strands. This program did exactly that for us. We look forward to walking through all the levels. Their sentences have greatly improved through this style and challenged my son, who dislikes anything to do with writing. His opinion is slowly changing to a positive outlook on writing.
    Perfects the Foundation
    Review by Shelly
    This can feel a little repetitive, especially for competent writers. However, my boys both are severely lacking in writing. They both hate it. This did a great job of starting at the very beginning and building upon itself. It has taught them that though what they’ve been writing is technically correct, it’s boring and redundant to read. This has encouraged them to expand their writing to include longer fun, interesting sentences.
    Very Clear and easy to use.
    Review by Allison
    This is a simple straightforward approach to developing writing skills. Like that everything is laid out for both student and Parent/ teacher

    Review by MyHeartasaHouse
    Thank you for this resource. I love that it is little work every day leading our young readers and writers step by step about literature and writing. Some exercises seem to be a little bit too repetitive, but we work around it. I also like that one week you read and one week you write.
    Using the Bible to teach these principles, brilliant! I always wanted to do something like this, even subjects like geography and history etc. I haven't found the time to read through the Writing course companion, perhaps an audio version for busy moms?
    Overall, I love the Writing Strands resource. I think it will prepare the children very well for reading and writing skills. Thank you!

    Finally!

    After a lot of searching, we have found what we needed in writing strands. Our son is a young man with high functioning Autism and someone who struggles with writing. He has really taken to this program!
