Thank you! This video helped me so much! Do you plan on strictly using this program going forward or do you plan to maybe even use it periodically? I’m slightly worried she might miss out on grammar lessons.
I have been thinking of Brave Writer for a while. The price tag is what is causing me pause. Would you recommend just purchasing a literary single to try it out? Not sure my child could keep up with the pacing of a new book every month.
That's exactly how we got started with them! we got 1 single. I also find that a month is a bit short for everything that is included. I'm actually on the fence between purchasing the year long program or just 5 or 6 singles for next year and doing them more slowly. But they are a great literacy program.
So it's recommended for grade 3-5 (dart level) but you could easily adjust it down. My 1 grade answers all the questions orally and is fine with it. The copy work could be cut down and you'd still get the benefits of it. I would just recommend that they can read decently well. Once they can, they can handle it, in my opinion.
You can totally do 1 on it's own. Each is basically a great novel study with some spelling and grammar work built in, so they would be a great supplement if you wanted to do it occassionaly or as a novel study type month.
