LAR Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Just wondering if anyone is using So-Verbose... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mschickie Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Not yet. There are a couple of course that I plan on doing with dd in the future though. I have friends who have used it, they say it is tough but very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LAR Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I heard back from Cati, the owner of So Verbose. She indicated that this was the first year they offered a full English curriculum. As a result of feedback, they are revamping the literature portion of the curriculum. Apparently, students found the amount of work and time frame for completion quite daunting. This was one of my concerns after looking at their year outline. It sounds like she and the other teachers are willing to work with students should they become overwhelmed. I have a rising 9th grader who is not looking forward to high school English. I need a curriculum that will ease her into high school writing and literature, but still fully prepare her for college. This program may fit the bill for us. Right now, we're considering FLVS or So Verbose. I'm hopefully others will jump in on this thread.

wenti Posted February 1, 2017 Author Share Posted February 1, 2017 Update: So Verbose is not a good fit for my son. He thought it was too simple. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kendall Posted April 14, 2017 Share Posted April 14, 2017 We just started our first course. My daughter just received her first graded essay in Essay II. She received one mechanics correction and general great job kind of comments. I was told there would be specific feedback and comments about areas to improve. I expected more, but for the price maybe I shouldn't have. It is very inexpensive. We needed the assignments and deadlines for this time of year for both of us and we are getting that...

Who was your instructor? We decided to take the plunge and try it for Essay 1 starting next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tess in the Burbs Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 It's a basic lesson with examples. Feedback is a very detailed rubric point system and then comments about what was good and what needs improvement. For my writing hater it's perfect. Simple and feedback helps them make improvements one area at a time. My ds has done essay 1 and 2 and has made huge strides in his writing abilities. My dd is a strong writer and did essay 1 this fall. She received much less feedback, but still learned some basics. I think this is a great price for basic writing instructions and feedback. It would be best for students who haven't had a solid background or who hate writing and need gentle steps. For me not being the one who grades, it was worth the money. My ds has improved greatly with So Verbose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
