I recommend EIW (Essentials in Writing). My son has used the 9th and 10th grade levels, and they're great. EIW gives students clear, incremental steps on how to outline and write paragraphs and essays, and teaches them how to use graphic organizers and other methods to generate and organize ideas for writing. The structure has been very helpful for my son. EIW's textbook lessons and videos are clearly organized by lesson number. My son watches a video lesson, takes notes as needed, reads the textbook page(s) that correspond with the video lesson, and begins whatever assignment is given. In the beginning, I sat with him through the whole process. Over time, he's gotten to the point where he can do almost all of it on his own unless he gets stuck and needs my input on selecting a topic, generating ideas, or organizing his thoughts for a given paragraph. EIW's customer service is great, and their curriculum is available in two formats --- DVDs with textbook, or streaming with textbook. They also offer a paragraph/essay scoring service for an annual fee. I should note that prior to EIW, we used IEW (Institute for Excellence in Writing) Level B. While IEW is a good curriculum that helped my son learn how to dress up his writing with adjectives, adverbs, and clauses, it didn't seem to solidify the structure of an essay in his mind the way EIW has. To be fair, maybe subsequent levels would have done that. However, another issue I had with IEW is that their video was a recording of a live classroom/training session that did not have clearly defined starting and stopping points within the video itself. Instead, it was necessary to refer to a specific page in the curriculum guide that indicated at which "minute mark" you were supposed to start and stop the video for a given lesson. While this might be a minor issue for others, to me it was an inconvenience that kept the curriculum from being as "open and go" as I would have liked on a daily basis.
