Penelope Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 It looks SO GOOD. Doing the happy dance and hoping the levels will keep coming. And we're not even quite ready for the first one, yet. But I love the sample. Thank you, SWB. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satori Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 My daughter and I are excited too. So much so that we started using WWE again and are doing two week's worth in one day just to catch up. :) She used to groan about it, but now she begs for it.

Five More Minutes Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 The very generous WWS sample that was sent out inspired me by giving me a glimpse of where we'll end up if we keep up with WWE for 4 years. Impressive, really, to see what Gr. 5 students (or thereabouts) could be working with in writing skills. It's inspired me to become even more excited about WWE as well ... which my eldest will only start this fall. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penelope Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 what ages will this be for? The target is about 5th grade, if you are following TWTM sequence. It is supposed to be the beginning of logic stage writing. It introduces outlining and various types of expository writing, using excellent models. AND it is largely written to the student, with parent to be available for help and follow-up. Though I'm sure it could be used with even more help from mom.

2GAboys Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 what ages will this be for? This comes after WWE level 4 (around 5th grade and beginning of logic stage). If you did not use WWE, but your child can read a passage of literature independently, sum it up in 3-8 sentences depending on length and complexity of the passage chosen, and can take dictation exercises of around 25-30 words after 3-4 repetitions, then your child is ready to move on to WWS. If your child struggles with any of these skills, spend a few more weeks on either dictation or narration in order to provide extra practice. I took these comments directly from Week 36 of WWE level 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HiddenJewel Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I will be using it with an older student on an accelerated pace in addition to another writing program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robsiew Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 From another poster... here's the link to a generous sample. I was really trying hard to ignore this... but after looking at it, I think I'm going to have to get it for my upcoming 5th grader... it just looks too good and WWE has done wonders here. I'm just really hoping SWB will be able to crank out the levels for us! That's my one hesitation... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boscopup Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 I'm excited about it, and I can't even use it for a few more years! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairProspects Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Super excited! I can't wait to use it for my own kids, but I have a couple of older tutoring students I really want to try it out on in the meantime! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyforlatin Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 The sample is on SWB's blog. We still have a few more years before getting to WWS, but I'm really excited and relieved knowing I can continue on this course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tuesdayschild Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I'm really looking forward to have a more analytical look through both samples WWS & ALL. Really appreciating the generous size of the samples! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
