Brave Writer 101: Guided Writing Process
Let’s get real. The market is flooded with well-intentioned writing programs that don’t meet the complex needs of young writers. Perhaps you’ve tried—even tossed— a few?
The truth is that writing is too big, too vulnerable, and too personal to thrive with a program that doesn’t address the whole child.
That’s where we come in!
No one approaches writing like we do, and when you take Brave Writer 101, we’ll let you in on the secret.
Here’s a quick peek at how class unfolds, with our writing coach, YOU, and your child working together to de-mystify writing.
