Sarah0000 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 After reading the chapters on philosophies and techniques, is the book something I can just grab with a notebook and pencil, sit on the couch with my kid, and start teaching writing?

EKS Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I'm not completely sure what you're asking, but if you're interested in finding an open and go program to teach writing that *actually works* and requires *very little energy on your part* the answer is that there isn't such a thing.

eternalsummer Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 Depends on the student, I'd say, and their age, and etc. I don't know what "No More I'm Done" is, but I find that WWS requires very little energy on my part for my 12 year old. There isn't a writing program in the universe that requires very little energy for my 9 year old, though, because it has to not only be something I am directly involved in (otherwise he won't be interested) but something I can talk him into thinking isn't actually schoolwork.

desertstrawberry5 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I used it with my first two. Yes. it is 100% no prep, open and go. Super easy. It is intended for very young children. k-2. We don't do original writing at such a young age and I didn't realize that it was a bit too young for them. But I did love the method for new writers. There is a similar book for older children, but I didn't get it and made No More! I'm done work for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah0000 Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 Thank you everyone. I was reading reviews and they all gushed over the philosophy behind the book's approach, and mentioned there was an outline of "mini lessons" for a school year. I wanted to make sure these lessons were something I could simply open and read and start on with just paper and pencil. I don't want to have to think of prompts or collect poster board most of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alte Veste Academy Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 The lessons are very friendly for "open and go" work, the one exception being that you will want to have the readings that are referenced in each lesson available before you begin. Most are picture books and were either ones we owned or ones that were available at the library, and some of them could work with substitutions.
