hsmomma Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 I am looking for a solid writing program for my 17yo. It can be geared toward younger writers. I would like to increase his ability to be a functional writer. Short reports for college, work, letters, notes. I am wondering if anyone has come across a program that is not full of bells and whistles but stresses paragraph construction, and the various kinds of essays. We have done several things but he has a LD is in this area and it has been in one ear and out the other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1shortmomto4 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Listening with all ears here! I have an 18 year old that did not pass the placement testing for English at the CC (I had a feeling) because of his LD's and severe hearing loss so I need to remediate through December for a retake and hopefully he'll pass without any college remedial writing/reading. I did sign up for an IEW webinar for Monday night and the presentation is for a pilot program to help seniors/college-age kids write and they are going to sign up beta testers of the program for free so hoping.......free is good since I've got a big tuition/books bill coming up in 2 weeks for him.

That looks like a great deal. I just couldnt commit to IEW on my own but doing something online seems like a good way to get through it.
