And that can make teaching writing in your homeschool pure torture – for you and for your child.

The Wand (Grades K-1) My almost 9 year old doesn’t read fluently by any means yet and her spelling skills are even worse. Throughout traditional schooling – public or private – the system makes writing a chore, something you have to do. But it will help you understand how the writing process can develop ideally from childhood to adolescence, from a professional writer’s point-of-view. The beauty of Brave Writer is that you don’t need to implement every recommendation right away, all the time, or even at all. If you would love your child to enjoy writing for life, regardless of whether or not they ever become a professional writer, Brave Writer is an obvious answer (in my humble opinion).

We piled the books in order of how effective their opening hooks were, with the most powerful at the top. I liked the start of “The Return of the Twelves”: “Max sat on the bare stairs below the attic, wondering whether to tell anyone.”.
