Juliegmom Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Has anyone compared these two writing programs? I'm a new home schooler and am trying to decide which to use with my 2nd grader for next year. Thank you! :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murrayshire Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 We actually used the daily trait writing book with my 3rd grader....but switched to WWW3 in December....She loves WWW! She can do MOST of it independently, too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juliegmom Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 Thanks for responding! I'm curious . . . what didn't you like about the 6-trait writing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
................... Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) I tried Daily 6 Trait with my son and it was pretty fun. But I wasn't all that impressed, but went back to it a s plan to use it with both my dc this coming year.

tomandlorih Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 :bigear: I was debating between these at the beginning of the year for my second grader. I decided on WWW because I figured as a curriculum (not just a supplement) WWW would have a logical progression to the topics covered (which it does and I am very happy with). Daily 6 trait writing takes 1 of the 6 traits at a time and I'm afraid she would forget all about the first trait by the time we got to the 6th one. I'm still thinking of using D6TW as a supplement to WWW though. Just because I don't think we do enough "writing". So I'm :bigear: for others opinions that have used Daily 6 trait... Thanks for starting this thread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
................... Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 (edited) I actually will be using 6 trait alongside Queens LA as suggested by Timberdoodle for my dc next year. My 5th grader will also be using Editor in Chief. Fun, interesting, and plenty of practice! I believe that intense, serious writing instruction can be saved for 7th grade and up. So to me, enjoyment and exposure are key at this age. A little dab'll do ya. Edited February 25, 2012 by Calming Tea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
