Testimonials
“Thanks for producing and publishing these materials. It has completely transformed the attitudes in this house toward writing. Both of them actually look forward to learning more skills and honing their craft. That is no small feat when the written word has been the source of major frustration and extremely hard work for a child’s whole life. Thank you!” —Stacey
“And just for the record, I think IEW is such a great program! When our kids go on to other schools, inevitably their teachers ask where they learned to write so well or the kids are shocked at how little their new classmates know about writing. I taught for 12yrs in public schools before I learned about IEW, and I so wished I had had IEW with those classes!” —Kathy
“I wish I had known of this system when I taught 11th and 12th grade English! It is a phenomenal way to teach writing! The content is provided and our students are shown how to organize their thoughts and source material and given the structure to format every type of writing they will encounter. The checklist makes grading and expectations a breeze! I cannot recommend IEW enough!” —Katie

- Arts of Language Podcast: Presents a wide variety of topics that are helpful to teachers and teaching parents.
- Cultivating Language Arts – Preschool through High School: Listening and reading well, speaking and writing clearly, and thinking and debating effectively are abilities that most parents hope to cultivate in their children. With that goal in mind, Andrew Pudewa explores various environments and activities that accelerate the development of these language skills, beginning with the youngest students and continuing into the high school years.
- Nurturing Competent Communicators: Many teachers and parents assume that good readers will naturally become good writers. Others think that writing talent is a natural ability. Some have it. Others don’t. Both are myths. History and modern research demonstrate how good writers develop the two most critical skills needed for a high level of aptitude in writing. With humor and insight, Andrew Pudewa explains these two easy but powerful skills, which build language patterns and nurture competent communicators.
- Reaching the Reluctant Writer: Many children really do not like to write. Why? Andrew Pudewa answers this basic question and teaches a specific and successful method of separating the complex process of writing into the smallest possible steps. This process makes it possible for even the most reluctant writers to produce short but complete compositions so that they will be proud and motivated to write again. Results guaranteed!
- Four Deadly Errors of Teaching Writing: After years of teaching, Andrew Pudewa realized that students’ frustrations were often caused by teaching mistakes. Have you committed one of these errors in your teaching? Overcorrecting, holding back help, unclear assignments, and over-expectation can frustrate your students and hamper your best efforts. Join Andrew Pudewa to learn how to overcome and avoid these four deadly errors of teaching writing.
