Is your student excited to write?
How about at least OK with it?
Do you know how to teach kids to write?
I’m writing to offer you (or someone you know and send this to) a DEAL. I haven’t spent much time pouring over it. In fact, I just sat down and typed it out. I’ll read over it once for good measure when I’m finished.
I’ve been focused on how to teach kids and adults for a long, long, time— And I’ve learned a pretty simple truth:
UNTIL SOMEONE “GETS” WHAT WRITING IS ABOUT,
THEY SELDOM KNOW HOW TO GET HAPPY ABOUT IT
WARNING: If they aren’t happy about writing they will NEVER really learn, which means they will NEVER have the writing skills to make college and work a comfortable success. It’s hard to teach kids how to write when they HATE writing.
Being happy about writing is exactly what probably sets The Writing Course apart from your current curriculum. If it is teaching your student how to ‘write right’, then more cheers for you! They might even notice that I used ‘they’ instead of him or her. However, the question I have is, “Does your student really understanding the writing process?”
How To Teach Kids to Write in 10 Minutes a Day?
Here’s an example:
Holmes Lybrand is our fourth child to be homeschooled from birth to college. His SAT score was OK (it will be in 4th place in our family of five, and he admittedly isn’t our most ‘academic’ child; moreover, if we dared to test him, ADD and Dyslexia would most likely show up), but it got him into the University of North Texas and into the Honors Dorm. He finished both his first and second semesters with a 4.0 GPA each time (which did amaze us a little), but that isn’t the cool part.
The cool part was to watch him—
- Make a 98% on a 14 page paper in Honors Communication (25% of his grade)
- Make a 100% on every Political Science essay (usually took him about 45 minutes compared to his friends who took up to 2 hours and with lower grades).
- Say to you, “After never being in a school of any kind, I found that I could write a 5 page college essay in a couple of hours without dread or frustration. My friends would labor for days or pull all-nighters with great emotional pain and fear. I wish I could put in their heads my dad’s Writing Course …what it could mean to their success in college! Also, to my surprise, I usually made 100s on all my papers (and never below a 95).” –Holmes Lybrand, 2013
It’s Not Complicated:
1. Holmes went through The Writing Course 4+ times in high school (but a smart 4th grader will benefit a lot as well).
2. He wrote something almost every day of homeschool (part of how to teach kids to write)…and got the exact kind of feedback he needed (we show you how).
3. Our feedback process usually takes a lot less than 10 minutes, which keeps everyone happy.
Now, he ‘gets’ language:
· He knows why ‘how it sounds’ is more important than how it looks
· He knows why starting with OK is better than trying to write something great
· He knows how grammar works
· He can tell if punctuation is correct without caring one bit about the rules
· He knows how to organize his thoughts and how to get them on paper
· He knows how to make his writing interesting
· He knows exactly how to not worry about his writing being good or bad
· He knows exactly how to get himself writing even when he doesn’t know what to say
· And…he knows a whole lot more 😉
The greater benefit of The Writing Course is that kids don’t learn to HATE writing, they learn to enjoy it. Honestly, it is all the tedious rule-obsessed grammar that quenches the spirit in a child (or adult). If you think the rules are important, then great…but adding The Writing Course to your curriculum will allow your child to embrace the freedom that comes with really “getting” what language and writing is about.
So here’s the Deal:
Jody has insisted that our Writing Course online solution (how to teach kids to write) would be more widespread among students if the price was more reachable. She insists that homeschool families aren’t the richest folks in the world, but that they do care deeply about their children’s success.
I’ve pointed out that I’ve invested over 150,000 dollars in my formal education and that the value of what they are learning will change their child’s life (and stress, and income potential) forever.
She insisted that the math will work out in supporting our own family (and all that goes into maintaining websites, advertizing, dealing with viruses online, etc.).
SO… I’ve agreed to experiment in how to teach kids to write.
I can’t guarantee this will become the new price for the course.
All I can guarantee is that you will have through the end of this month to decide to take us up on an ALMOST ½ OFF Sale (we may keep this as the permanent price, but we may revert back if it doesn’t real help us support our work more effectively).
So… $67.00 for the same writing course (includes the Essay Course), for the same money back guarantee, for the same experience of seeing your child blossom as a writer, for the same video and audio support whenever you need it.
I promise, one time through the course will change your child’s life with writing…4 times through will likely turn them (her or him) into a genuine writer. You don’t really have to know how to teach kids to write, I will…but, you will help them blossom as writers.
Your responsibility…get the course…invest 5 minutes a day (really, that’s all your student will need from you)…then tell others if it works like we say!
Why not begin this semester on the write foot 😉 for your student’s writing future?
Blessings

WHY ARE CHILDREN RELUCTANT TO WRITE?
-Dr. Fred Ray Lybrand
.
Hint: The Methods used by most schools only heightens the fear of writing (which is the core issue in how to teach kids to write)
There is a Simple Secret Teachers aren’t taught in most schools, but
that instantly helps almost every student (especially most LD or Reluctant Writers);
and it all begins with understanding what scares them the most about writing.
When the SECOND FEAR goes away the Writing begins
.
Dear Homeschool Moms & Dads, Students, and C0-op Leaders,
Honestly, do you really think that they will suddenly wake up and like to write by doing the exact same thing you’ve been doing so far? Really? Your child is scared of one BIG thing, which you already know…she is scared of upsetting you. But you are already upset, so both of you are TRAPPED! You know that it’s all about learning by writing…but what is in the way of children writing to begin with?
It is the SECOND FEAR that is the problem. Once the SECOND FEAR is slayed, no dragons remain between writing and your child. What is this SECOND FEAR? I’ll get to that…
Do you really want to send them to college (or high school with a hatred and (often) morbid fear of writing words on paper? Is there any chance they can graduate without being decent at writing? Have you noticed that a lot of what you are trying just seems to make things worse? It’s not your fault…most methods secretly produce fear and failure so the teachers can look like they are ‘really’ teaching.
.
Sometimes they just aren’t motivated. Sometimes it’s something even more challenging. I get the struggle. I get the frustration. I have spent a lifetime figuring out how to go from reluctance and tears to racing to win— all as it concerns writing. Writing is its own special issue, but when your student learns the 12 Principles I’ve uncovered through education, trial-and-error, and the grace of God…everything will change They will immediately discover what learning by writing is all about. In many ways you are going to get to look over my shoulder and show you the exact ways we have taught our own children (and hundreds and hundreds of children all over the world). Here’s what I think you’re wondering in order to make a decision:.
OK, HERE’S A BUNCH OF BLAH…BLAH…about How We Help Reluctant Writers
(Just Skip on Down to SECOND FEAR and read this stuff later)
.

What do I get? What’s the price? Is there a guarantee?
The Writing Course System – You don’t have to train yourself. The Course is 21 audio lessons, plus a workbook, plus a transcript of the course. Print the workbook, play the audios, look at their notes and exercises…and watch the transformation! It also comes with the Essay Course (for older students…around 14 and up), which has 18 lessons and a number of instant templates to use to create an outline in under 2 minutes. These should be used yearly with each student. And, because of the design of the course, it’s a new experience every year as the principles get settle into the student’s heart and habits. It is clearly about learning by writing, but it is also about how to think about writing for a lifetime of confidence.
The Online Videos – You will have access to 14 videos that explain all of the principles involved in curing reluctance in young writers (and old ones too!). We also have included our popular ‘over the shoulder look’ at EXACTLY how to give feedback / grade a student’s writing to give most help.
Instant Access and Backup – You will will have both courses fully downloadable for your immediate use. You can make CDs or put the lessons on your Ipod. Sometimes stuff happens and things get lost…no problem, we will renew your link to your writing courses whenever you need it.
6 Full Hours of Live Call in Sessions – These sessions were live and included a short lesson along with Q&A from other owners of The Writing Course. You will have complete access to the archive of these live sessions. Occasionally we have a live call-in session to add to these lessons…but, most of your questions are answered by using the course itself. Nonetheless, these sessions help clarify, refine, and encourage you.
The Guarantee – Can an online course really guarantee that it will show you how to teach kids to write (and like it)? No one else we know of dares to guarantee a writing course. You will have 365 days to decide if The Writing Course is right for you. All we ask is that your student actually go through the 21 powerful lessons (about 1/2 hour a lesson), fill in the workbook & exercises (easy), and send us a copy—which is only fair. You’ll have your refund process within 48 hours.
The Price – $127 for everything, including the right to use it with the whole family, is still a bargain. When we say we will show you how to teach kids to write; we mean all of your kids, but with the one-time purchase of our course for the whole family. As a parent myself, I know how costly it can be to buy material for each child for each year…which can really add up. I want to make this as easy as possible— once price for the whole family, forever. There are no additional purchases necessary, and you probably won’t need to pay your tutor anymore. If you do the math per child…or the math per year (of most curriculum)…or the cost of a tutor. So, we hope you see our Writing Course on how to teach kids to write is a bargain. Plus, since it is fully online and downloadable, we’ve been able to reduce the price to $97 from our regular price of $127.
.
Here are a few comments from appreciative Writing Course families. I look forward to adding your successes here soon.

Before the Writing Course we really didn’t “do” writing. We have started many programs that lasted less than a week. We covered grammar and spelling, but I didn’t see the fruit of this work in their papers. My children dreaded any writing assignment and were often in tears over them.We recently completed the writing course and my biggest challenge now is to keep up with correcting their papers. They write everyday now without being asked and never wonder what to write about. My feedback and corrections for them are much more effective and they are turning into wonderful writers! Thank you SO very much! We needed help with this subject more than any other and you have turned things around for us. Your program has been priceless for our family.-April Browning

THE SECOND FEAR…
The SECOND FEAR is the secret (less apparent) fear. Of course your child wants to please you (not upset you), but it is the HOW she upsets you that is the issue. The SECOND FEAR is that she just can’t write perfect. I mean face it…if she could write something perfect, you’d never get upset. True? Honestly, it’s not your fault. Schools have been messing this writing business up for many years…mostly because they are trying to teach writing instead of showing the student how to teach himself 🙂
The theory in your child’s head is that perfect is possible…and…it is possible on the first try. Of course, once you are committed to write perfectly on the first try, then you can’t even form a couple of words! Now, add to this SECOND FEAR the realities of some learning challenges, lack of experience, and a swirling number of rules about grammar, spelling, punctuation, and story…and you’ll see that she just feels hopeless. Learning by writing cannot happen when hopelessness reigns.
I know you don’t know me, but The Writing Course is specifically designed to cure these EXACT FEARS and more.. It shows you how to teach kids to write, but it will also show them how to teach themselves to write as well.
HERE’S WHAT USING OUR SYSTEM TO OVERCOME HATING TO WRITE CAN MEAN
1. Some things the Writing Course System Offers in the Near Term
The ability to write-on-demand (at will) can catapult a college or business career
Once reluctance is gone the skill can be learned
Readiness for school and job applications, SAT, essay competitions, college applications, etc.
Conflict leaves over writing so schooling and relationships can be good.
A child feels closer to a mother who isn’t seen as the source of his tears
Closeness increases with the sharing of written stories
People often can share more intimate thoughts in writing than in person (Laura’s note
Writing is rightly known as thinking on paper…learning the skill of writing is also training in the skill of clear thought
Writing well improves the ability to read well
Entire career choices (and college majors) can be considered as options by the one who can write effectively and easily
If you can write well you are ahead of most of the people you’ll ever meet
The skill is essential to learning most subjects
Overcoming the fear of writing translates into how to overcome almost any fear
Each year thousands of students flunk out of (or quit) school because of the lack of writing skills alone.
Appealing grades, insurance claims, tax issues, legal matters, etc., are very often dependent on the ability to write clearly
Writing for oneself (journaling type activities) have been proved to be incredibly helpful in personal growth..which is what learning by writing is all about.
The pen IS mightier than the sword…more power and more protection than learning martial arts!
2. What The Writing Course Offers Long Term
They can begin entering essay contests and writing competitions (money)
They can develop the skill to enter, earn scholarships, and successfully finish…a quality college or university
Consider a job that requires writing well (where no one would be hired without the skill)
They can actually write the novel that most people only hope to…
They can tutor others in writing (for extra cash in high school or college)
They can develop relationships with people all over the world through pen-pal clubs, various type of discussion groups, and social media opportunities that respect good writers
They can impact the world from a computer by good thoughts well delivered
They can raise funds, interests, and supporters in community, organizational, or missions-focused endeavors.
.
One of my passions is simply to teach kids to write. I’m ready to help your child’s life change; for the tears to stop and the confidence to grow. Why keep suffering when writing has a real fix that is only a click away?
I hate to mention the obvious, but really good writers REALLY love this course because it adds so much speed and clarity to what they do.

Is there really no risk to try The Writing Course?
Our 365 Day Guarantee: Frankly, why should anyone have to keep a course that didn’t help? We’ve done this for a long time and have a stack of thank you notes from people just like you who were hesitant to gamble on a course that sounded too good to be true. Honestly, I’ve toned down what this can (and will) really do for your students because it sounds ridiculous / unbelievable. However, since we know you need a little something to cheer you on, we want to take all the risk away. You have our promise that for 365 days after of receiving and completing The Writing Course, if you are not ABSOLUTELY THRILLED & YOUR CHILD IS CLEARLY STARTING TO LOVE TO WRITE, you may return the Course for a full refund. Frankly, most folks find that going through it 6 or 7 times is the way to go (and it feels like a different course each time through because of it’s unique design and information). All you have to do is send us your completed copy of the easy to fill in workbook (which is only fair to prove if it works), and we’ll have a refund to you within 48 hours. That’s all there is to it…our promise to you.
.
Special Note: Oddly enough, our course on how to teach kids to write often shows the most dramatic improvement for kids who struggle because the way in which they process language isn’t ‘normal’ (whatever that actually means). Learning Disabilities are often mislabeled…they are more often just learning challenges. Jody is dyslexic (but made a 4.0 in her masters program) and two of our own kids had some challenges with reading comprehension and writing…but they are doing great now. Better tactics and growing confidence can overcome almost anything. Here is a recent letter on this very issue:

.
P.S.
TYPOS: No matter our efforts, we still are human and can miss a mistake or two. Frankly, the obsession with typos is one of the things the writing course tries to help overcome. When you learn how to teach kids to write, you realize that typos are not a big deal…especially when a child’s fear of making them keeps him from writing anything at all. If you see a typo on this page, please drop us a note at contact@advanced-writing-resources.com and we will get it corrected. If you see typos in your child’s writing, please don’t make a big deal out of it…notice what they’ve said and the cool way they said it. That is encouraging. Many, many famous authors have been both brilliant writers and poor editors…go figure?
