Thanks for watching! It is a great option for LA in the upper grades. They do also have for younger grades as well (I think starting in 1st), but we only started in 6th.
Do you find that each lesson you do in one day? How long do the daily writing lessons take? And are the students working on writing pieces that they can have a portfolio by the end of the course?
@@hollys6821 yes I feel like you can do a lesson a day. If there is more to a concept or part, then typically EIW will break it up into separate days. Daily writing days don’t take incredibly long since the process is broken up. But it also depends on your student and their motivation. I would say 30-45 minutes max. I would say yes that these could be added to a portfolio.
@@jesus.maryandjoseph8880 the pdf is actually called digital on their site. So if you go to their site and click on a level, digital should be an option if you scroll down.
Good question! I think because Fix it grammar is an easy and quick thing to add in, but IEW writing has always seemed so hefty to me. I don't think my oldest especially would love the longer videos and I'm afraid it would kill her love of writing.
That is a hard one, I think they generally suggest the grade level. Here is a link I found to help with placement. essentialsinwriting.com/level-wizard/
The place where you order on the essentials in writing site…it lists digital price and then the print price. It is $20 cheaper to get digital. Then when you sign in, you will have access to the digital and be able to print it out.
This looks really great! Awesome flip through! ❤
Thanks for checking it out!
This sounds very good for the upper grade levels. Great overview! 🥰🥰

Thank you for the video. You said that you purchased the workbook via PDF. Where can I find that option? Thanks, so much!

Thanks for sharing. I'm trying to decide on a writing curriculum for next year for my then 8rh grader.
It is a great option to teach the foundations of how to write, plus the grading option is so nice!
Great overview!
Thanks for watching!
If use Fix it from IEW, is there a reason you use EIW rather than IEW for writing?
Good question! I think because Fix it grammar is an easy and quick thing to add in, but IEW writing has always seemed so hefty to me. I don't think my oldest especially would love the longer videos and I'm afraid it would kill her love of writing.
Would you recommend Level 6 for a reluctant writer (7th grader) rather than this Level 7??

Hi, im considering this. Where can i purchase the pdf?
The place where you order on the essentials in writing site…it lists digital price and then the print price. It is $20 cheaper to get digital. Then when you sign in, you will have access to the digital and be able to print it out.
@@schultesweeties I just need the spiral book correct? what i mean to say is that i just only need to print the spiral book (the one you have).
@@lisacg4438 That's the only one you need to print, but you would still need the streaming videos to get the full effect of this course.
