This is the class that teaches YOU how to coach your children in writing. The instructor works with you and your kids to transform their writing lives.
The discount is only good for two weeks (12/2 – 12/15), once our Winter/Spring registration opens.
When was the last time you finished a book and said, “Wow! The comma usage in that book was phenomenal!”
Um, never? That’s because punctuation supports communication. It’s not a replacement for it.
While writing mechanics are important for the ease and pleasure of reading, it’s the author’s original thoughts that stick with us!
The new insight.
The tantalizing argument.
The immersive storytelling.
These are the aspects of writing that connect the writer with the reader.
Your children are already natural storytellers—they freely share about
the games they play,
the bug they saw scurry onto a leaf,
the time they saw their friend fall and skin her knee. Ouch!
The key is to get those stories (original thoughts) onto the page—without the constraints of proper grammar, punctuation, or spelling.
Those thoughts need the freedom to spill out just as they appear—skinned knees, muddy shoes, and all.
The Writer’s Jungle provides parents with the tools they need to facilitate getting those words to the page and preserving the original thoughts (and voice) of the child.
3. Writing Projects.
Now it’s time to bring it all together!
Writing projects blend writing mechanics and original thought to create a finished piece of writing to publish and share.
Or use the discount code QUIV10 to buy the complete Quiver of Arrows set (10 issues) and get the Trumpet of the Swan Arrow for FREE!
The sale ends July 17, 2019 at midnight Eastern.
What’s the Quiver of Arrows?
The Brave Writer Quiver of Arrows is a collection of 10 guides that provide a gentle step into the study of writing mechanics and literature.
They make a bridge for your child from The Wand (K–1st) to the Arrow (3rd–6th grades).
The guides and the accompanying Guidelines equip you, the homeschooling parent, to teach:
spelling,
punctuation,
grammar, and
literary elements (like the opening hook)
using quality living literature.
And don’t forget the Book Club Party School sections!
They’re bursting with ideas to celebrate literature and bring stories to life with your kids.

Although E.B. White’s first books did not earn immediate critical acclaim, they quickly became favorites to those most discerning of critics–young children. Kids know what kids like, after all, and kids love White’s books.
So take advantage of this special offer (ends July 17, 2019 at midnight ET)!
Books your family will read aloud together and treasure all year.
