Out of all the writing resources I bought to help guide me, this was probably the most accessible, with the most directly workable suggestions and lessons, and the best way to get our feet wet when my children absolutely hated writing.
Each lesson is really three: beginning (reluctant), middle (average), and challenging (avid). Each lesson is well laid-out to teach, and easy to follow.
My only complaint on this curric was an almost-randomly thrown in lesson that was chock full of bible quotes. As secular homeschoolers, we avoid that sort of thing in our lessons, and the rest of this book was fine. The page almost seemed like an afterthought, rather than an effort to align this to either secular or biblical teaching. It was easy enough for us to skip, but it just struck me as a strange attempt to meet every audience.
Adding: this is a great go-to resource if your kids are struggling with blank-brain syndrome (in other words: you can still teach them how to write while removing the stress of on-demand creativity).
