IEW’s Student Writing Intensive is a practical, step-by-step writing curriculum that works great for kids who think they hate writing. Understanding the rules of grammar is great, but knowing how to put them to use is what is really important.
Is IEW hard to teach?
IEW is not difficult to use or teach, in fact, it’s easier and clearer than most of what’s out there. The “thought” of it is what can be overwhelming, but the program itself is not complicated.

IEW® currently has three levels of accreditation. Two levels are awarded through a rigorous application process, and the third is open by invitation only.

Are Iew’s fix-its included in the basic structure and style curriculum?

Is Iew worth it for my child?
It is a very formal program, which doesn’t work for every child, but if you have a child who has no interest in putting words on paper and/or likes having a “toolbox” to work with, it might be worth looking at. If you use one of the Student Writing Intensives, IEW also offers continuation courses.
Why didn’t I try Iew?
I’d heard about IEW for years, but hadn’t tried it for a variety of reasons. One, it seemed pretty pricey. Two, it seemed like it might be complicated to implement. I started looking into IEW again over the summer after reading Barb’s thorough review at The Curriculum Choice.
