TEACHING YOUR TEEN TO WRITE CAN BE TRICKY

  • What are you supposed to teach?
  • And how do you teach it?
  • Where do you even begin?
  • What if your child hates writing?
  • What if you’re not good at writing?
  • What if you’re not teaching the right things and your child’s not prepared for college?
  • What if you can’t get past Lesson 3 of the expensive curriculum you bought at the recent homeschool convention because it’s too hard to use and you don’t have time to watch all the videos?

I understand how it feels.  That’s why I created an instructional program FOR HOMESCHOOL MOMS that will give you A STEP-BY-STEP PLAN and eliminate the guesswork.

I understand the struggles of homeschooling and how important it is to find the right curriculum.
