"I really like the way it is set up. At the beginning of a unit, the program will offer a video explaining what needs to be done. I can independently use it, and my mom really likes that she doesn’t have to make sure I do my work."

"I realized early on that my daughter was more of an auditory and visual learner, but with most homeschool writing curriculum, the visuals and audio are boring. WriteShop® I stood out to me because they offer concise videos with creative visuals, that easily keep my daughter’s attention."

"The online video course is an excellent addition to the WriteShop® 1 curriculum. Each lesson contains several videos (around four to seven depending on the lesson), providing step-by-step instruction for the students. The videos are very clear to understand, and the images they use in the videos provide great visuals to help the students with their own brainstorming. I love that the video course can assist me with the instructional part of the curriculum; however, I am then able to be involved in the editing and evaluating of the writing."

"You also get an email letting you know when that lesson has been completed. So no more, “Of course Mom I did it,” and really they haven’t done it, and you don’t find out until the end of the week when you sit down to grade their work. Nope, you get that email right away."

"This made teaching high school writing so much easier in our opinion. While I feel qualified to teach writing to my kids, this has freed up so much time to do other things. I could see this working for those who don’t like to teach writing, those who have only so much time in their day, or those who have children who learn better from others. Why pay a hefty co-op fee when you can have it taught at home?"

"The Video Companion Course: I LOVE THESE! Let me say that again, I LOVE THESE! I think the videos are an incredibly beneficial addition to the WriteShop® program. For the mom who does not or can not sit and walk her child through each step, the Video Companion Course is key! I have found these to be an integral part of the equation for teaching writing! My daughter finds it so easy to sit down and watch these short lessons. They walk her through each of the worksheet activities, as well as any writing assignments."
