My son use to hate writing. I tried a few of these different writing workbooks and they made the problem worse. They seem to overcomplicate it, and were way too technical for kids. Sure, my kids went through the motions, but rarely did they retain the subject matter.Then I stumbled onto something that worked far better with my youngest...and all we had to pay for was a composition notebook at the dollar store. What I did was simply to start having him write in his journal for 10-15 minutes a day about whatever had happened that day or whatever he was thinking about. (After all, this is most likely what Da Vinci did as a child!)For the first month or two, I didn't require him to correct any of his writing errors. That is what got the ball rolling. As he wrote about the things that mattered to him without the fear of making mistakes, writing became a lot more appealing for him.Gradually, I began to help him with corrections to make his writing more readable, however I was and still am very careful not to ask him to change too many things at once. That discourages him. The whole point is to foster the love of writing. I want to keep his fire lit, so I just have him make 3 or 4 corrections at a time. The rest of the corrections I make for him.Now he writes during his play all the time and his writing is improving by leaps and bounds. He even says that writing is one of his favorite subjects!Through this experience I have come to believe that writing (under these circumstances) will emerge naturally, very much like spoken language. We don't need to dissect it and make technical lessons out of it at this age. We just need to support kids in writing about the things that matter to them.
I ordered Sylvan's "Fifth Grade Super Reading Success" and "Fifth Grade Reading Success: Complete Learning Kit".Much to my surprise I found that though the covers are different the books are identical. For some reason I assumed that the content would be different because the covers were, it was not.As the picture for the kit shows the kit includes books on Vocabulary, Writing, and Reading as well as CDs ect. The kit is neat as it addresses a lot of needs kids may have."Fifth Grade Super Reading Success" is simply the above three books bound as a single book.While the Comprehensive Curriculum series Master Skills Reading Comprehension, Grade 5 is designed to be pretty much self teaching this series is not. A student will simply have to have the careful guidance of an adult. I have no doubt that this workbook would be an excellent supplement for anyone going to a Sylvan Learning Center and expect that is why they were published.Another difference is that the academic level of the Sylvan products are simply higher than the Comprehensive Curriculum.While the Comprehensive Curriculum series lets you look at sample pages which lets you see some of the words your child would be dealing with Sylvan has not yet done so. By publishers giving potential buyers a look inside they can save us time and money.I am returning both the kit and the success book, at my expense!!!! This could have been avoided if I could have seen inside the books. My wife, a certificated teacher, told me that the books would not be what was needed for independent learners and she was right!
