[quote=Anonymous]MCPS doesn't seem to teach writing very well, so I supplemented the kids' education in that area because I wasn't satisfied with the standards they were meeting. I'm not sure it'd work for you at this point, but we used the Writing With Ease & Writing With Skill books from first through 7th grade. We also used resources from The Write Foundation and the University of Maryland Writing Center. I think the most important thing is to just teach an easily repeatable method for how to organize essays -- you can do this without any specialized curriculum just by sitting with her and helping her prewrite, outline, & draft her next assignment.[/quote]
