Oooo! I love the idea of the blank books from Target for "publishing!" Thanks for taking the time to put this review together!

Have you decided if you're planning on continuing Write Shop in your school year? Also, for each of the writing assignments that they publish do you have any recommendations for what medium to use? Do you think 1 large blank book, folders for each one, or maybe those poly portfolio thingys?

We are planning to do Write Shop! My daughter wants to use those little blank books from the Target dollar spot so that’s what we’re going to do.

Hi! We also use Lightning Literature and I'm looking for a different writing program. Are the lessons long or is it the prep that takes the most time? We are also interested in EIW. However, my kids also love to write their own stories. I've looked at this curriculum before but it looked overwhelming. Have you done All About Reading? Is the prep similar? I don't mind the prep for that. Thank you!

I would compare it to AAR as far as time commitment. I feel like if we give yourself distraction free time to read through the manual and understand how it all works, and prep the file folders ahead of time, it’s fine. I was overwhelmed in the beginning with all of the information in the teachers manual but once I gave myself some time to just sit and read through and absorb it it wasn’t as overwhelming as I thought it was going to be.

It does have a lot of moving pieces and parts!
