[@EducationalRoots]

Check out my IEW playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLRBc8Ox0qL--_mKGwDdJ-oRH6cSIkrrmx

[@hummingbird9194]

Oh no. I need this haha. This is exactly what I've been looking for. Do I have room for it on my bookshelf? No. Do I need to buy more curricula? No. But I need this haha. Thank you for sharing.

[@EducationalRoots]

Mama On A Budget Lol! I am really looking forward to it!

[@anydayblessings2354]

Right there with ya! Natasha always does this to me, lol. :)

[@EducationalRoots]

Anyday Blessings Haha!

[@adventureswiththemacs8066]

Do you think it's really necessary for the homeschool mom/teacher to actually do the Teaching Writing: Structure and Style seminar??

[@anydayblessings2354]

Ok, three questions, lol. 1) Where was this last month when I was finalizing purchases for next year!? 2) Are you taking or have you taken the recommended parent course, TWSS? I am wondering with such a thorough teacher book if it is really needed. 3) I heard you say you called IEW. What did they suggest you do after this? Would you just start the Intensive A?

[@EducationalRoots]

Anyday Blessings kzbin.info/www/bejne/aKiqn4Rvrrqkldk

[@EducationalRoots]

Anyday Blessings Yes, I’m going to do the teacher intensive.

[@EducationalRoots]

We could do SWI A or another themed book. I would probably do the SWI A, but not sure.

[@EducationalRoots]

I explain why I’m doing the teacher intensive in that video, but basically I am doing it for myself, and because I will have my older girl doing the online class. Plus I will get PD credit for it.

[@c.r701]

If your child was just starting with IEW and was entering 3rd grade. Would you start with all things fun and fascinating or start with a lower grade?

[@EducationalRoots]

Are they a good reader?

[@c.r701]

@@EducationalRoots Yes she reads quite well.

[@EducationalRoots]

@@c.r701 Then I would do All Things Fun and Fascinating :)

[@EducationalRoots]

You could also do Fables, Myths, and Fairy Tales

[@c.r701]

@@EducationalRoots Thank you for answering me back I greatly appreciate it.

[@courtneyhaas9286]

We are looking into this curriculum for next year (for my 2nd and 4th graders) and have already purchased Fix-It Grammar. Do you think this and Fix-it would be a comprehensive LA curriculum? Our literature is already covered in history and their 20 minutes assigned reading a day. Would they each need their own student book? This video is so helpful! Thank you so much!

[@EducationalRoots]

Hi, yes, they would need their own student book and yes, that would be a complete LA program (minus spelling). Keep in mind this and Fix It isn’t really recommended for 2nd though, but maybe you mean they’re in second now.

[@nancystevens8475]

Thank you for this awesome flip through and explanation! I couldn't find any example pages on the IEW site.

[@marcyandscott]

How did you structure your year with doing the SWI? Did you just work through that first and then start the All Things Fun and Fascinating? Also, do you use other Language Arts along with this or does this replace language arts? My daughter will be in 2nd grade next year and we have been doing Logic of English Foundations. We have gotten through B, so we have not done a lot of grammar. I know they have the PAL writing. I am just not sure if I need to do that first, move forward with LOE, or use something else. 😜🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

[@EducationalRoots]

Marcy Bowden Hi! We actually got SSS much later in the year (it’s brand new). So we started with All Things Fun and Fascinating and then moved to SSS (which will take us through first semester of next year as well). Along with writing you should do their grammar as well, plus spelling and of course reading.

[@EducationalRoots]

I wouldn’t do this in second grade. They have some themes based books (Bible Heroes or People & Places) that are better for second grade.

[@journalofahomeschooler]

Would you recommend this for reluctant writer or to start with structure, my son has ADHD and even though I think it’s a good program it just have me thinking if he would be able to stay the amount of time that probably requires for him to be sitting . Would you still recommended and how it work for you guys? I know this is an old video, just got to see🤷🏻‍♀️

[@EducationalRoots]

This is their easiest level A course (they told me that). You can totally break up the lessons. We did!

[@journalofahomeschooler]

@@EducationalRoots Parent training needed or do you think can be done without it?

[@EducationalRoots]

@@journalofahomeschooler You can do it without but I do recommend listening to the podcast if you do it without

[@erinb.3495]

Did you end up using this curriculum? If so, how did it go? I am in a similar boat!

[@journalofahomeschooler]

@@erinb.3495 I will be using it this year of 2022-2023 with my kid.

[@numbersandstars]

Hi Natasha. Thank you for this video. Do you know the difference between this course and the new Level A video course?

[@EducationalRoots]

Yes, I have a video on that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h4eupqmri95qgqc

[@bethsantiago355]

If one has never done IEW can this still be used for a struggling 5th grader who presently is beyond discouraged with writing?

[@peterp9900]

Hi Beth, IEW has a program for reluctant writters - check on their website and podcast

[@rosemarydelprado6939]

I am a tutor who uses IEW. Yes, you can use this with a struggling reluctant writer!

[@tashiba-thejoyfulwarrior6445]

This looks AMAZING!! 💗

[@EducationalRoots]

Ta'Shiba I The Joyful Warrior I know!

[@nadiapries]

What is an outline?? Lol

[@driftingforward]

I hope you still read this a year latter, do you do with the structure and style on this by itself? vs the SSS

[@EducationalRoots]

Amealya James Hi! You would either do this OR the SSS. Imo this is a bit easier than SSS so I would do this for a younger child, like third grade.

[@driftingforward]

@@EducationalRoots Awesome, thank you for getting back to me so quickly!

[@EducationalRoots]

Amealya James My pleasure!

[@raneranerane]

Does the child need to do the dvd video lessons first before doing the theme-based writing?

[@EducationalRoots]

RaneRane No, but they recommend the parent does the Teaching Writing Structure and Style.

[@raneranerane]

Educational Roots thank you for the fast reply. I checked the TWSS and it cost $189. Did you purchased that one?

[@EducationalRoots]

RaneRane Yes, I did. If you can’t do that then I would recommend seeing if any friends have it that you can borrow. At the very least listen to the IEW podcast. It is extremely helpful!
