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.

She loves to write, but felt that this book was too easy. I guess that’s not a bad problem to have. It didn’t hold her attention or challenge her enough. One good thing about all of the books that Timberdoodle sells in this same series is the cost. They are low-cost books!

The biggest plus so far is that I don't get the rolled eyes and groans when it's time to pull out Wordsmith, like I did with last year's writing curriculum I chose. When I asked my 14 year old daughter what she thought of it, her response was: 'Way better than last year, for sure.

As a short course, I think it does provide the foundation for getting a young writer on the path to understanding that writing is more than just putting words on paper. There is an approach, there are rules, and being able to apply those effectively are the key to success. If you have never had your child really sit down and walk through how to construct sentences, paragraphs, and finally a full essay, then I can easily recommend this program. Writing cannot be taken for granted – it must be taught.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/bzoohomeschool.blogspot.com\/2012\/10\/review-wordsmith-wordsmith-craftsman.html\" target=\"new\" class=\"btn primary\"\u003eRead the Full Review\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- END BLOGGER REVIEW --\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"Wordsmith","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":35289719570596,"sku":"045-090","price":25.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true},{"title":"Kit Item","offer_id":35289719603364,"sku":"045-090","price":0.0,"currency_code":"PLN","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0436\/9045\/9300\/products\/045-090_WordsmithBundle.jpg?v=1595330514","url":"https:\/\/timberdoodleshort-com.myshopify.com\/products\/wordsmith-bundle","provider":"timberdoodleshort.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
