Favorite English 1 online course

[Shelydon]

My 8th grader really loves literature and writing and wants to take an English 1 course next year with like minded students.  I am actively working on finding someone to teach at our co-op, but if I can't I want a good online class for her.  Any suggestions?

budget?

Integras Academy is widely praised here but they were way beyond our means.   http://www.integritasacademy.com/about-register.html

That is pretty pricey!

It is expensive, but considering how much rides on being able to write well in high school and college, and the essays to get into college, it's worth it. I read on this forum that if you can swing doing just a year for a 9th grader, it really helps in high school. It is my opinion that if one can only swing paying for 1 semester (fall semester is best if just doing one) that it is very worth it. If you can find a good curriculum that is writing intensive you could potentially do a homeschool course and see if there are online tutors in your price range that could grade essays and a research essay paper and give feedback for a set price. What worked wonders for my son is the intensive part of doing a lot of writing and getting quick feedback and doing multiple drafts. He can write a lot more quickly than at the beginning of the semester.
