Bring Together Literature, Grammar, and Joy
Imagine your child being excited about grammar lessons! Imagine them calling out when they see literary devices “in the wild.” Imagine them being delighted to play with punctuation!
Brave Writer’s Dart Collections are designed for 8-10-year-olds, but our programs offers maximum flexibility and can be easily adapted for children ages 5-12 to meet your family’s needs.
Enjoy literature while learning grammar, spelling, punctuation, and reading comprehension with engaging lessons that stick.
Our year-long program is delivered in nine, month-long lesson plans.
Each handbook features a novel and immerses your child in:
- stories
- literary devices
- grammar
- punctuation
- spelling
- and book club parties
Discover how easy it is to teach writing using literature!
Our program uses the time-tested practices of copywork and dictation as key tools to teach punctuation, spelling, and grammar naturally in context. Don’t worry—we’ll show you how.
Each handbook contains:
- Notes to go with a selected read-aloud (books can be purchased separately here)
- Four passages taken from the novel for copywork and dictation, one per week
- Easy-to-follow instructions to teach writing elements found in the passages
- Playful and effective grammar and punctuation activities that kids love
- A delightful writing exercise to apply what they have learned
- Nine comprehension questions
- Book club party ideas
- Copywork passages on separate printable pages
- Skills Tracker and Weekly Planning pages
- Four-color design that looks gorgeous on tablets or printed at home*
The Dart program comes with Guidelines to help you implement the practices of copywork and dictation.
