Sentences are great! Words strung together can create powerful stories and poems that captivate the imagination. Sentences can also be confusing. Writing involves a ton of rules on sentence structure and it can all start to feel like a mystery. If your young learner is able to read and has written basic sentences, then this class can help them build their essay writing foundation. This course is divided into 3 parts: Parts of Speech, Writing Paragraphs, Writing Responses to Literature. This class created as a pathway to our Essay Writing for 4th & 5th Grade course and is a great addition for those looking to support public school curriculum or homeschool curriculum. This class is interactive. Students will be introduced to the subject of the day, followed by exploring story excerpts or sentence prompts, then they will practice using the information presented on their own. Each class will conclude with a homework assignment that is designed to take less than an hour and incorporates usage of vocabulary words. Parents, you can view all of our writing courses via the attached PDF. Prerequisite: Basic computer literacy skills- Students must know how to mute, unmute, and click on a link (links are shared in the chat).
