3browneyedboys4me Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I looked over this program today at a local homeschool retailer and thought I would see if anyone on here has used it and if you did, how did you like the program? I would be interested in this for my rising 3rd grader and 5th grader. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melinda TX Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 (edited) I taught this a couple of years ago to a co-op class, and I enjoyed it. (We used level 2) It was, compared to some writing programs out there, probably a bit "light". BUT - it served its purpose - (for me) to introduce writing in an easy fun format. Easy to teach, enjoyable for students. Inexpensive, so that was a bonus! I wouldn't hesitate to use it again with my younger two kids (ages 8 and 9).

3browneyedboys4me Posted April 3, 2009 Author Share Posted April 3, 2009 writing programs. And, honestly, I've found many of them waaaay to overwhelming. I just want something simple to get us started. Thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee Pip Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 My only experience was with Write About Me with my then 7yo dd. I loved the book, loved it's simplicity, thought it was fun...it totally bombed with my writing phobic dd:) I think it's a fine program to use for anyone else, though, LOL. Just not my kid...I'm not really sure how to "fix" her. For now, we tag-team write (but I mostly cringe & tear out my hair). Her problem seems to be - 1. can't use personal opinions in her writing (she is too overwhelmed by personal opinions) 2. can't choose (if anything asks her to choose anything, she goes into a frenzy) 3. too perfectionistic about spelling, so this limits her choice of words anyway (as if reasons 1 & 2 weren't enough) 4. I sort of think she may be slightly motor-skills delayed. I just started her on typing, hoping this may remedy some of our problem. So, as long as you don't have a perfectionistic, afraid to choose, won't share her opinions in writing sort of kid, then I'm sure Just Write is a fine program, LOL.
