Over the last few weeks, we have had the opportunity to improve Hope's writing skills by using Structure and Style® for Students Year 1 Level B. This amazing curriculum comes to us from the Institute for Excellence in Writing®. Structure and Style® for Students is a program that brings a successful solution to your writing lessons. It is guaranteed!!!! Our family has used their curriculum in the past and we were thrilled to be chosen to receive and review this set.
This basic writing package includes:
- Student Packet
- Binder
- Teacher's Manual
- 24 videos with subtitles
Structure and Style® for Students Year 1 Level B is geared for students in the 6th, 7th, and 8th grade It consists of 9 units that will take about 24 weeks to complete. The 9 units in the book consist of:
- Note Making and Outlines
- Writing from Notes
- Retelling Narrative Stories
- Summarizing a Reference
- Writing from Pictures
- Summarizing Multiple References
- Inventive Writing
- Formal Essay Models
- Formal Critique
The Teacher's Manual is a great addition to this set. This book consists of an introduction, scope & sequence, a schedule that is adaptable, and an outline of the units you will be studying. As you go through the manual you will see what is expected each day. It gives answers to questions and ways to prepare for each unit of study. You have everything you need to help teach this course. They do give suggestions on how to add grammar to your program, but it is not necessary. The videos that go with the program will do most of the work for you. It will be up to you and your child's learning level to determine how much you will be involved in each unit study.
Hope has been doing most of her work independently, but I have been checking in on her once a week while she is listening to the videos. She also brings me her work each day so I can look over it. When I asked her if she liked the program she said yes. Her comments were all positive. She said she feels like it is done well and doesn't rush her through each lesson. She likes the teacher and said he is very good at teaching how to enjoy writing.
I have seen her working and taking notes as she watches the videos. She seems very interested and focused. When it comes to writing she usually doesn't care for it, but I believe this course will give her a new love for writing and she will be able to do it well when she finishes the course. I love how they teach writing skills in a way that makes students excited to try. They encourage creativity along with skills.
This program has lived up to the others we have completed in the past and we look forward to using more of their courses in the future!!!
