[quote=Anonymous]Does anyone have an online class that they like for writing and grammar enrichment for this summer?

My son is currently a 4th grader. He reads very well and has a strong vocabulary but his writing (sentence structure, paragraph organization, etc) is well below grade level.

He is embarrassed by this and asked me to arrange for some tutoring this summer and I don’t know where to start. Friends say to try Outschool and I’m finding classes for budding novelists, but not much for kids who just need help with the basics.

He will be in camp most of the summer so ideally we’d find something he could do about 2x/week in the evenings. He even says that he’d be happy to do homework so I think a “boring” (traditional) curriculum would be fine.

If anyone has suggestions for an online class that focuses on the nuts and bolts of writing, I’d really appreciate them!

Ps—I tried teaching him myself and he was willing but I’m not a trained teacher and it just didn’t click for him.[/quote]
