Brave Writer is both flexible and thorough. The relationship between you and your child and your child’s relationship with the written word. Brave Writer is a lifestyle that starts with relationships. But Brave Writer is so much more than a curriculum. Most writing curricula only focus on techniques, grammar, spelling, and punctuation. What is Brave Writer?īrave Writer is a Language Arts program created by Julie Bogart. As always, all thoughts and opinions are my own. I have since purchased several other Brave Writer products because I love them so much! I was not required to write a positive review. I received Brave Writer’s Jot it Down at no cost in exchange for a review. Please read my disclosure statement for more information. *Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links. With all of his amazing thoughts, our son could only manage a single word…bacon. He ended up writing a single word on this pig writing prompt…bacon. “Write that down” had become one of the worst things you could say to him.

Our son just starred at me blankly when I made that request. Fantastical thoughts and stories fill his head…dragons, wizards, battles, wars, and even whole planet libraries! Yet getting those ideas onto paper has been difficult at best and downright non-existent at worst.įor example, we once had a writing prompt about farms and since we live on a Farm I thought this would be great! The prompt gave a picture of a pig and said, “I love pigs because….” Our son begins to tell me all the reasons he loves pigs: They make wonderful pets and are as smart as dogs, pigs have a great sense of smell and are known for their truffle hunting abilities, pigs make great bacon, ham, and BBQ! Wow, I thought to myself, this is fantastic now write that down.

We have tried many curricula and philosophies over the years from Classical homeschool to Unschooling. Don’t get me wrong, he is brimming with ideas. We have struggled with getting our son to write.
