I love the idea of using this to develop skills and then Lightning Lit to apply those skills. Our kiddos are still too young for any of this, but my research has begun and this makes a lot of sense!

Thanks so much for this thorough review! My 9 year old sounds alot like your oldest. Languags Arts is for sure his jam, he is constantly reading, and LOVES to write. I shyed away from this curriculum because of the cost but now I am going to take another look and at least do the Free Trial this summer and see how it goes. I think he could really benefit with learning a bit more structure in his writing. Thanks again!

Your welcome! The free trial is the way to go. We used the free trial before deciding to purchase too.

Great review, especially on how similar or not it is to the 1A level. We're working thru 1A and plan on 2A in the spring. Thanks!!

Thanks so much for your review. I'm trying to decide whether we can skip 2A (we have done 1A previously) and go straight to 1B. We did take a break from it this year, so age wise, she is in the 1B bracket but could still do 2A, of course. Do you think there were a lot of new things/differences in it from 1A? Thanks!

There was some creative writing ideas introduced that wasn’t in 1A. Also all the source texts were longer. The first 8 weeks definitely felt repetitive and unnecessary since my daughter was already practicing the skills she learned from IEW. I think it really depends on how proficient your child was after completing 1A. Can they write the standard 5 paragraph essay with ease or do they struggle?

I follow the recommended pathway. iew.com/sites/default/files/IEW_Pathway.pdf I can never remember the order it goes in 😆 The sequence is 1A 2A 1B 2B My daughter will be doing 1B next year for 6th grade.
