des petits questions pour Les Blog Readers of Alexander's Maitresse...

- Do your kids study from the Writing Strands curriculum?

- If so, are you happy with Writing Strands? If not, what writing program do you use?

- Are you participating in NaNoWriMo? Is/are your kid/s?

- Would you help your children participate in an annual writing competition where word count were the only determinant of success?

- Have I been too trippy as of late?

I thank you for your time.

We tried it. I liked it, S didn't. Thought the author's tone was condescending. Switched S and G to Write With the Best, which is a writing by imitation program. Very good, everybody happy. Ultimately decided trying to combine WWTB with separate diagramming and Easy Grammar was too much of a drag and now we are using (gasp) Rod & Staff. Rigorous and thorough. We have only had one disagreement with the religious content of the text so far: God is abstract, not concrete.

My girls jumped right/write in with NaNoWriMo, though there is no chance of them finishing 50,000.

Trippy works.
