HappyGrace Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Narrative, essay, cause and effect, imitative, etc. (I don't even know what they all are!) Dd is in 4th grade and we've MAINLY done copywork/dictation and imitative writing (Imitations in Writing, IEW, WT) up til now, and we're trying to transition over a little by using Jump In (by Apologia.) I was realizing we've been pretty imitation-heavy and I think we're at a good point to branch out some. As I was contemplating our writing journey, it made me interested in what others are doing to try to have a well-balanced writing plan over the long-term.

Kfamily Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Mostly just giving you a bump....:001_smile: We use CW which by next year will begin to integrate literature. This year we are adding some simple paragraph style writing with history and lab write-ups with science. We discuss literature and will do some writing with it.

TXMary2 Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 We use the Jump Into Writing from Apologia. I like that it covers most of the writing genres and is very methodical. It is for 6-8 grade so I would say stick with it and just go at a pace that your child can deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
