All students must be able to read at the 1st-grade level or higher. All students must own a copy of the student manual for this course. You may purchase it from IEW by clicking here.

IEW produces a highly acclaimed writing method that benefits both reluctant and eager writers, and everyone in between! The organization of materials is highly logical and uses the mastery approach: EZ+1. Students refer to checklists throughout so that each student has the tools to achieve 100% on every assignment.

For this special course, the instructor will advance at the pace of the students, taking longer with some assignments if necessary. The result is that some groups of students will not entirely finish the book, but they will still be prepped to begin a new class next year. The ultimate goal is mastery of presented skills, not 100% completion of the course.

All assignments must be typed, either by the student or a parent. Parents are responsible for editing rough drafts for basic spelling and punctuation; final grades are based solely on the student's completion of the checklist.
