Writing Strands (National Writing Institute)

The Writing Strands Curriculum is designed for home teaching, each book/level is a complete program, with continuity from one level to the next in creative, research, expository, and basic writing skills. These are complete writing projects rather than the typical fill-in-the-blank workbooks available. Level one is a collection of oral games and exercises for children age 3-8. A child, at whatever age, having worked through level seven, would be ready for college-level writing. Evaluating Writing is helpful for parents using the program, to sharpen evaluating skills (includes Fixit, a DOS program). Writing Exposition contains sophisticated exercises for students who have completed Level 7 and are preparing for college.
