Writing Strands

by Sheri
(Auburn Hills, MI, USA)

Product: Writing Strands
Subject: Creative Writing
Levels Used: 1 through 7
Dates Used: 1992? to 2009

Likes:Very well laid out. He has 'strands' of writing and he develops the different methods of writing over the course of his programs. His lessons are funny and engaging for the students. He allows 'wiggle room' for the student and parent to customize each lesson just for them.

I met the author of this program in 1992 and he admitted it was not a grammar program but would teach the student how to formulate very good sentences. It is true.

Two of my graduated children went on to take some college courses; their creative writing classes only confirmed for them how well-prepared they were for writing essays, letters, short stories, poetry, and outlines.

Dislikes: My children didn't necessarily agree with me that it was such a marvelous program. But, since they had nothing else by which to compare, I suppose they can be 'forgiven' for griping about all the writing assignments over the years.

There can be a lot of writing in the higher levels but my children were doing the work on the computer by then so they didn't suffer from writers cramp too often!
