WHAT A LESSON LOOKS LIKE
In a Homeschool Setting
Child-Facing Video
Each lesson includes an introduction video to get the child started. This is a great benefit if you have more than one child and need to keep the others working while you work with a child individually.
WHAT'S INCLUDED
Our Core Components
Simple Directions
We provide examples and directions for each day so that there's no confusion about what to do with your child. With these detailed plans, you'll know exactly how to help your child with the lesson. You don't need any experience teaching writing to help your child succeed!
Video Lessons
Our lesson videos help support you and your child by teaching them about the step in the writing process and modeling exactly how to apply it in their own writing. These are great for parents who need to work with multiple children at the same time.
Printable Student Organizers
Instead of bulky workbooks, we provide simple, efficient student organizers that you can print when you need them. This allows you to get access to the materials instantly.
Looking to save on ink? Most of our organizers are simple enough for your child to copy down on paper.
Grammar Lessons
Research shows that teaching grammar in the context of writing increases retention. Grammar is embedded in every unit. Your child will use each skill in their writing multiple times, allowing for mastery of the concept.

HEAR ABOUT OUR PROGRAM
From Homeschool Teachers
"The transformation was evident in the kids' increased engagement, ownership of their learning, and overall enjoyment."
"Implementing Simplify Writing's direct, systematic lesson structure brought numerous benefits and notable growth in our [home] classroom. The structured approach, clear instructions, and engaging materials empowered students to navigate writing confidently and enthusiastically. With targeted grammar instruction yielding immediate results, my kids demonstrate improved writing proficiency and a deeper understanding of language mechanics. Most significantly, writing instruction transitioned from being the least favorite part of the curriculum to a highlight of our learning journey. The transformation was evident in the kids' increased engagement, ownership of their learning, and overall enjoyment of the writing process.
" -Karin Goldmann, Mom of 2
"I went from having 22% of my students able to write a topic sentence to 84% able to write a topic sentence!"
"I am lucky to have a 1-hour block in my school day to explicitly teach writing. I saw immediate results using Simplify Writing during this block. Being that I started it later in the school year, I wanted to use it to remediate my unclear instruction from before and help my students truly independently master writing skills. The pre-assessments were so helpful for giving me data and information about what skills students still could not do independently, and I used this information to guide my teaching. Within the first week of using the intervention lessons, I went from having 22% of my students able to write a topic sentence to 84% able to write a topic sentence!"
-Emily Fox, Hybrid Homeschool Educator
