lisaj Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 My DS5-almost-6 loves creative writing and is extremely talented. (He is also PG and a Davidson Institute Young Scholar.) We are homeschooling through a fabulous charter, but it's hard to find really interesting substantive LA/creative writing materials for him. I'm thinking about signing him up for Stanford's online EPGY 3-month "Language Arts and Writing" and "Reading/Writing about Literature" courses. Does anybody have any experience with this? I'm brand new to the world of EPGY/online education. Thank you! PS I talked with someone from the program, and there are no qualification issues.

Suzanne115 Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 I would love information on this too. It sounds like something my eight year old would enjoy. Suzanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melmichigan Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 You may wish to do a board search under EPGY. There is an Open Enrollment group on this board that accesses these on a yearly basis for a much discounted price without the tutors. If you can't find it feel free to PM me.

lisaj Posted June 28, 2010 Author Share Posted June 28, 2010 I probably should've updated my original post. Like Melissa mentioned, I've found lots of information by searching for EPGY and emailing with her and some other moms on the Davidson forum. It doesn't sound like the creative writing is really addressed at this age, but we're going to be signing up for the math and LA programs through OE. The only other question I have is how ALEKS is different than EPSY. ALEKS looks like it might be more kid-friendly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
