4. Sonlight – From their website: “Workbooks don’t really teach children how to write effectively,” says Dr. Ruth Beechick, homeschool expert and author of The Three R’s. Instead, students best learn to write well as they: Listen to good writing, Look at good writing, Copy good writing, and Then, finally, write on their own! “Benjamin Franklin taught himself to write this way,” explains Dr. Beechick. He outlined essays he admired, put them aside for a few days, and later tried an original article by following his outline. “He compared his writing with the model to see where he fell short. Then he tried another, improving his writing all the while.”

5.
