In this video, I’m sharing my all-time favorite writing curriculum for beginner writers and for kids (or even older students) who are resistant writers—meaning writing feels hard, frustrating, or they just plain don’t like it. If you’ve got a child who freezes up when you say “write a sentence,” I walk through why I think Writing with Ease is the best place to start and why it’s been such a huge win in our homeschool. I talk about what makes this approach so effective: it keeps the workload manageable, builds skills step-by-step, and takes the pressure off the child while still teaching real writing foundations. I also mention a few other writing options from The Well-Trained Mind (Writing with Skill and The Creative Writer) and a program many homeschoolers love from Classic Academic Press (Writing & Rhetoric), so you can see how they fit depending on your child’s age and needs. My biggest takeaway is that you can absolutely teach writing without daily tears—starting with the right level and a gentle, consistent plan makes all the difference.
