Writing Program appropriate for 3rd grader

[Purrtastic_mom]

Looking for a writing program for my rising 3rd grader. Hoping to chose a mostly instructor led program or one with least teacher prep. Let me know which you like best and why ? I can’t seem to be able to make up my mind.

Uh none? I'm old school, so I used Writing Tales around that age. 

I think as far as choosing, you could try a sample from each and see how it goes.

In third grade, we did copywork and started doing Day by Day dictation a few times a week. But my kid was writing-resistant. And I didn't want to make her hate writing, so I didn't push it. She was grumpy enough about dictation.

In third grade, we did mostly copywork an narration.  I tried IEW with my older child, but in retrospect don’t think it was necessary (and didn’t do it with my younger child). I have heard great things about a writing curriculum written by one of the boardies here, @8filltheheart, Treasured Conversations.
