Do-It-Yourself with Brave Writer
Would you like to use the Brave Writer philosophy but would rather custom design your own writing program?
No problem!
1. To nurture your child’s inner voice and facilitate original writing
DO-IT-YOURSELF:
- Read about Writing Voice (check out the additional links at the bottom of the post).
- Jot down your children’s thoughts for them until they are ready to write on their own.
- Practice freewriting.
BRAVE WRITER SUPPORT: Purchase Growing Brave Writers or take our Brave Writer 101 Online class if you’d like to be coached.
2. To combine mechanics with literature
DO-IT-YOURSELF:
- Pick age-appropriate novels to read with your kids.
- Select passages from the novels for copywork and dictation.
- In addition, you might use a grammar reference once in the upper elementary years (like Nitty Gritty Grammar) and then a more systematic program (like Winston Grammar) once in junior high and once in high school (or learn a foreign language).
BRAVE WRITER SUPPORT: Pick one of our ten-month Language Arts Programs or purchase our language arts guides a la carte to go with the books you are reading.
3. To create writing projects
DO-IT-YOURSELF:
- Learn about structure and format in writing.
- Create writing projects with your kids.
BRAVE WRITER SUPPORT: Use our writing project programs. Each course has ten or more writing projects in it to last you at least a year. Or sign up for an online writing class with our awesome writing coaches!
