Writing Aids Reviews

"[Writing Aids] really is a bargain since this one book might well replace yearly purchases of composition texts or workbooks for your entire homeschool lifetime."

Patrick works on his mind-map

Patrick works on his Year 2 mind-map.

"My son was a very reluctant writer last year in 3rd grade. He cried just writing a few sentences. Forget doing paragraphs!

"We switched from a traditional program to Tapestry of Grace this year, and are using Writing Aids. He has already written a paragraph about Life on Noah's Ark, Life in Ancient Sumeria, and the Burial Customs of Ancient Egypt. The last two weeks, he has written a 5 paragraph report on Jewish Holidays, doing the research himself from his history/literature.

"I really didn't think he could do it, but he did a paragraph a day. I just want to sing the praises of this writing program. Breaking it up into little pieces each day has really helped, but I think the biggest benefit is the fact that he is writing about what he's already been reading about all week. Thanks so much for this program, and I encourage all new Tapestry of Grace users to give it a try!"
