Hello to all home school parents teaching writing. I want to offer support to anyone that has a need. I know teaching writing is difficult and students are resistant, so I have a few ideas on how to do a better job. I have had 30 years of experience teaching writing under my belt that includes kindergarten through eighth grade in public school, many hours tutoring students that needed help in writing, and now home schooling my own granddaughters.
Weekly I will offer a writing tip that can make your life easier, plus answer any questions that you might have. If I don’t know the answer to a question I will research it for you and see what I can come up with.
Hi Judith, I see that you are just getting started here. I’m interested in hearing your ideas. My blog is fairly new also; I am developing though. My focus is suggesting ideas for homeschool lesson plans around topics. So far subjects I’ve written about include: The Sound of Music, The Wizard of Oz, Japan, and The Galaxy. If you have any writing ideas related to any topics on my blog and want to write an article and send me a link I’ll take a look and link to your post if I like what you have to say.
Regards, Alison

Hi Allison, I do have ideas about how to take your topics and resources and write research papers, take literature or reading notes, and to keep a reading log and letter that will improve reading comprehension, plus much more Each week I will post a tip for parents to help them make the writing and reading experience interesting and more student directed. I do like the resources you have posted and believe that it would be helpful for any parent or student to be able to go to a site that provides sources for them, so I will post a link to your site as I write tips that apply. Thanks for the comment. Judith
