lexi Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Has anyone used this program - The Write Foundation? I had never heard of it before. I'm just exploring all my options for teaching writing and ran across this website. Can anyone point me to reviews or share personal experiences? Thanks!

Caviar Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 I also just came across this curriculum, and would love to hear what others might have to say about it. It appears to be exactly what I've been looking for. I did read reviews of it, many from the Schoolhouse group, which say that it is difficult to understand what the author intends in places, and it takes a few hours to familiarize yourself with how it is set up, but once you get past that, it's not too bad. I figure that since I was able to figure out SWR (Spell to Write and Read) then I should be able to handle this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKDmom Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Here are my thoughts on it. http://forums.welltrainedmind.com/topic/543942-has-anybody-anybody-used-the-write-foundation/?p=6218156 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lexi Posted April 25, 2015 Author Share Posted April 25, 2015 Ok. Sounds like it's not quite what I'm looking for. It is sounding too complicated for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKDmom Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Ok. Sounds like it's not quite what I'm looking for. It is sounding too complicated for me! I didn't find it complicated. It was pretty scripted IIRC. It was just too rigid for me. I have discovered that I just can not do scripted, rigid programs. I resent being told that *this* is the right way to do things. Have you looked at the samples? http://thewritefoundation.org/teaching-tools-samples/ Click on the instruction links to see the TM. It's exactly what it looks like for each lesson--Copy a Bible verse, learn something about verbs (or adjectives, or whatever), maybe play a game, then write a poem. Like I said, we got bored, but I think it could work for someone who likes a lot of structure and predictability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caviar Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 Thanks, it actually sounds good to me. I do like a lot of structure and predictability, especially with my "I hate writing!" child. That one needs the structure for several years first, I think, and then, after that, I can cut her loose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
