Classical Writing vs Writing with Ease

[DaffodilDreams]

Anyone care to compare and contrast the two programs?

 

Pros and cons of each or at least the one you have used?

 

Have you looked at both and do you have a strong preference for one? If so, why?

 

Thanks!

It doesn't have to be either/or. You could easily do WWE first, then CW. :)

Kimmie,

 

As WWE stands, without the upper level program out right yet, WWE really works on skills needed in CW. More of a prerequisite to CW. Some kids could learn them directly in CW. My oldest, who is language oriented (vs. math oriented), was a natural at summaries. She just did lapbooks and dictation in the early years and then went directly into CW. My more analytical kids didn't get summaries so WWE has been essential.

Thank you all for the help. The list of threads is great, and I really appreciate the input from the two moms regarding starting with WWE before heading into CW. That helps!
