[Podcast #255] Brave Writers Thriving in College

Brave Writer Podcast

As homeschooling parents, one of our biggest concerns is ensuring our children are ready for college when the time comes (if they choose that path). Today, we’re joined by Elizabeth Christie, homeschooling mom of six, who tells us about how her Brave Writers are now excelling in college.

Tune in to hear how:

  • Elizabeth’s kids sailed through college application essays,
  • her daughter was recruited to be a well-paid student writing tutor,
  • and her son has excelled as a technical writer. 

If you’ve ever wondered about the power of read-aloud time or chunk writing, this is the episode for you.

Show Notes

The Writing Tutor

When Elizabeth’s oldest started university, she was almost immediately recruited by professors to be a writing mentor for other students. They noted how she had a writing voice and knew how to use it. She agreed to take the position and is now a well-paid student tutor.

The Technical Writer

Elizabeth’s second oldest is very interested in computers. That doesn’t stop him from using his Brave Writer skills, though. He’s an accomplished technical writer.

Both of Elizabeth’s kids sailed through their college application essays without breaking a sweat. She anticipates her younger four children will also be competent and confident when their turn comes. She credits Brave Writer read-aloud time, chunk writing, and the beloved book reveals.
