What's new in Writing With Ease, Level 1, Revised Edition?
- Writing With Ease Level 1, Revised Edition contains both the Instructor Guide and the Student Pages, just like the Original Edition. We will continue to sell additional Student Pages. Both will be available in paperback and PDF formats.
- The biggest change is the addition of an optional fifth lesson each week: a creative writing exercise. This provides blossoming creative writers the opportunity to explore by responding to a fun writing prompt and by drawing or filling in a picture as an extension to the written response. Some, but not all, grammar stage students want or need to write creatively.
- The Beverly Cleary lesson has been replaced with a lesson from The Secret Garden to honor Beverly Cleary's wishes that children encounter her stories as stories rather than as vehicles for instruction.
Can I still buy the Original edition?
- We no longer sell the paperbacks or PDFs of the Original edition.
Will you be revising Writing With Ease Levels 2, 3, and 4?
- Level 2 has been revised and the creative writing lessons added.
- Revision for Level 3 is under consideration.
