Margo out of lurking Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 The goal is essay writing with SAT scores in mind. My dd has "loosely" used IEW materials in the past. In general she's not wild about IEW, although she didn't mind SWI-C because I didn't require her to specifically use all of the dress ups. She excels at fictional writing and continues to benefit from practice with expository writing and organization. Any opinions on either program would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Susan C. Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 I looked at Elegant Essay at a fair this year. It seemed too tedious for us. Ds used Format Writing, it was more about the structure of an essay from what I remember, but it helped get things going. Doesn't IEW have a SAT essay course called High School Essay Intensive (or something like that)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tardis Girl Posted July 30, 2010 Share Posted July 30, 2010 I was going to suggest the IEW's High School Essay Intensive as well -- geared toward writing timed essays. If your dd already writes reasonably well, she could probably just do that on its own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
