Hi Karla! Your timing for all these videos is perfect ❤️ I plan on ordering up the IEW level B for my rising 8th grader, she has some IEW experience already, hoping it’s a good fit. We utilize outschool from time to time also, we love it! Last year my daughter did a “barista” course, making coffee shop drinks. We’ve used it for poetry classes, French, science workshops…so many choices! My daughter has also decided to just read through her youth bible also:) I’ll look into the app idea 💡

@@karlacanon2507 oh thank you for the bible app info! Yes, we are excited to start level B. Hoping to continue IEW beyond as well, it is hands down the best writing program we have ever tried. outschool has lots of fun and educational options:) My daughters both did a self paced zoology course last year they both loved.

Does IEW help teach note taking like the child would need with gather round? Or is it too detailed and we’d need to find something else to teach note taking?

IEW really helped with note taking because it teaches kids to make a key word outline for their writing. We used the same method for taking notes. Before Gather Round, we just hadn't done a ton of note taking. :)

Hi! I have a 6th grader and an 8th grader, both are kind of reluctant writers. My 8th grader did the three weeks free lessons (level 1A) and said it was easy. Which level do you think I should start them ?
@karlacanon2507

I personally would go with 1A, but only if you can get your 8th grader on board. If they are a reluctant writer, I would explain that the assignments in 1B are going to be MUCH longer (more writing required) than the 1A. Tell them that they will ultimately learn the same skills in 1A, but the assignments will be shorter and less time consuming. Most kids, knowing that, will choose the easier path. However, if your 8th grader is NOT on board with that plan, then you don't want them to go through the year feeling like the program is below them, because that just won't go well. You can make the 1B work for both children, but have your 6th grader potentially dictate half the assignment to you, or watch the videos for each lesson, but only do the actual writing assignment for 1 of them, vs having your 8th grader do both assignments. That isn't a super clear answer, but hopefully it helps! My older two kids are perfectly happy to do something that's a little easier so they can get through it quickly. On the other hand, my 3rd child DESPISES anything she feels is "too easy or too young" so I give her things that are more of a challenge, that would have frustrated her perfectionist older siblings. It all comes down to personality I guess!

@@springrain777 I think the best thing to do is look at the samples online with your child, and see what level looks like the best fit to them! That way they have ownership over the decision!
