{"product_id":"wordsmith-apprentice","title":"Wordsmith Apprentice","description":"\u003cb\u003eWordsmith Apprentice\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This book features all the practicality, humor, and fun of Wordsmith, but written for the younger student, ages 9-12. It's an easy to use writing course encouraging students to develop their writing skills as they participate in every role on a newspaper staff: editor, reporter, writer, etc. Children develop a love for writing as they express themselves through sentence and paragraph writing, persuasive writing, and much more. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Wordsmith Series\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Have you ever felt overwhelmed with the slew of creative writing programs available for homeschoolers? As a curriculum provider, we have seen more writing programs than any sensible parent would ever want to see, and candidly, after a while they all look pretty much the same. So what stood out about the \u003ci\u003eWordsmith\u003c\/i\u003e line?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eNo Slick Promises\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e To start with, the engaging exercises and doable assignments are pertinent for reinforcing the systematic process of thinking, organizing, writing, evaluating, and re-writing that is critical to any creative writing program. But ultimately, at the very core of the Wordsmith program is the honest reality presented by the author, Janie B. Cheaney, a regular columnist for World Magazine, that while her books will not always produce an enthusiastic and prolific writer, with the Wordsmith series, the actual skills of creative writing can be acquired by anyone. So if you need a language arts program that addresses creative writing in more depth, the Wordsmith series is the most effective, painless approach we have seen. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"product-single__features-title\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.commonsensepress.com\/uploads\/9\/5\/0\/7\/95072726\/wordsmithapprentice.pdf\" target=\"new\"\u003eView a sample lesson of Wordsmith Apprentice\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.commonsensepress.com\/apprentice-scope-and-sequence.html\" target=\"new\"\u003eWordsmith Apprentice Scope \u0026amp; Sequence\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.commonsensepress.com\/uploads\/9\/5\/0\/7\/95072726\/lesson-plan.wsa__1___8_.pdf\" target=\"new\"\u003eDownload Lesson Plan for Wordsmith Apprentice\u003c\/a\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/i\u003e Janie B.
