NormaElle Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 So if you look at SWB’s writing progression chart, she gives one option that would involve doing WWS and then following up with W&R levels 7-12. Does anyone have any thoughts into whether or not this would work? Thanks for any insights you can provide. 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stlily Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Which edition of TWTM is the chart found in and on what page? I'm don't remember seeing a progression chart. Thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stlily Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I was hoping that looking at the chart would give me more information to possibly help answer your question. I think someone who has used and is familiar with Writing and Rhetoric would have to chime in. My guess is that SWB made the recommendation to use all 6 levels in 2 years because an 11th and 12 grader would be able to work through the lower level books a lot more quickly. I think focusing on forward progress, while acquiring general writing skills, research skills, etc., would be a better goal that trying to complete a set of books. I know this doesn't answer your question. I'm sorry I couldn't offer more help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusyMom5 Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 My 9th grader is making a quick pass through W&R 1, 2, 3, -skipped 4, just started 5. My plan is to get through 5 and hopefully 6 this year. Next year, if it's still working, I'm thinking 7, 8 and 9- possibly 10. I dont know if they have all of them finished yet, but there are also 2 other programs by CAP that can be used after W&R. Why did I choose this? This kid seems to be a natural writer. After 2 years of Winning with Writing and 2 years of Essentials in Writing, I didnt feel we needed a program that focused on form. I wanted a program that focused on sentence structure and the Sentence Play section has been great for this. This kid also loves to write stories, so I thought some time spent on Narratives would be useful for her. We are doing some history based writing as well, so shes still getting practice with 5 paragraph essays and longer research papers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
