My reluctant writer 7th grade son just finished Fundamentals 1. He liked it. I wouldn't call it rigorous, but for us it had enough meat to it. It was also gentle enough not to scare him off from Fundamentals 2. If it seems too easy, the teacher can offer an advanced schedule. Each lesson covers some grammar, mechanics, vocabulary, and the writing assigment for the week. Typing practice is encouraged as well. Hope that helps!
