tdbates78 Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 We are currently using WriteShop, which I just started this past week (we are new to homeschooling). I like it ok (I found it used at our local homeschool consignment shop) but I wish I had gone with WWE after reading reviews and seeing samples. I'm going to stick with WriteShop for the remainder of this school year (we are loosely following our public school schedule) and start WWE next year. My girls will be in second grade and one of them is a very reluctant writer and takes OT due to pencil grip and low muscle tone. Do you think WWE would be a good fit? And if so, which level? I'm not sure if I should start at level 1, since they aren't strong writers, or level 2 since they will be in second grade. Any thoughts? Thanks!

lexi Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I use WWE 1 with my second graders. The program moves up pretty quickly between the levels and so I start with it in 2nd grade. They are levels and not grade levels so it's not like that is using it a year behind. I've found that level 1 for second grade is just right. It's enough writing but my kids don't get frustrated. Level 2 has quite a bit more writing and level 3 has a lot. So that is what I've done with my kids and it's worked really well. I think starting at level 1 is probably a really good idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This, exactly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fourisenough Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I'm using level 2 with a second semester 2nd grader. It wouldn't have worked for her back in the fall, but was just fine beginning in January. I think level 1 would be a good place to start. If it gets easy (and you can see they're ready to move on), you can complete every other week to finish the book faster (as I recall doing with one of my older girls).
