I simply sprinkle in a few IEW assignments along the way. We finish Brave Writer's Faltering Ownership in 6th grade, and then we begin Brave Writer's Help for High School in 7th grade. Therefore, Brave Writer STILL serves as our primary writing program throughout middle school. Just FYI.) While IEW offers excellent instruction in crafting academic essays, I think it's sorely lacking in key areas (like developing original voice, creativity, and depth). And, for our family, IEW fits the bill perfectly! (Many families love the open-and-go, independent nature of IEW for those who are researching options, WriteShop is another program with similar benefits. Why? Because I need a robust, step-by-step writing curriculum that my middle schooler can tackle independently. Although Brave Writer will always be my first love, I add Institute for Excellence in Writing's All Things Fun and Fascinating in 6th grade.
