About Writing Essentials

Do you wish your child could be a better writer? Do you feel like you don’t know how to help? Writing Essentials offers home-based and online writing classes for children in grades 3-9 using the IEW curriculum.

Registration is now open for the 2021-22 school year. For beginning writers in grades 3-5, I offer the All Things Fun & Fascinating class. This class is a perennial favorite! In addition, I am offering two sections of Fables, Myths, and Fairy Tales, also for grades 3-5. For older students, I am teaching through the U.S. History-themed writing. This class is for older students, grades 6-9. No experience necessary! Register today to reserve your seat.

All classes are now online.

“I don’t know what to write about!”

Learn the tools to not only “know what to write about,” but to say it with style!
Writing is not a skill that is learned once. Much like playing the piano or dancing ballet, it takes years of practice to become a good writer. Starting young is a great first step!
