Can anyone who has used this tell me what you think the strong/weak points of this program are? We are thinking of investing in it for the Fall, but I am on the fence, not sure if it really will "work".

Also, has anyone used either the History based writing lessons or the Life Science based writing lessons?

Thanks in advance!

Tea,
There are some insights on this recent thread - Can we talk writing programs again? - that I think you might find really helpful. It doesn't cover History base writing lessons or Life Science based writing lessons though. Maybe someone has some thoughts or experience with those.

Tea,

I really like IEW. How old are your children?

I have some of the Theme-Based programs and they are great. We use an IEW certified teacher so we don't use the books. I did buy the new book, All Things Fun and Fascinating, to work through this summer.

I flipped through the Life Science book this weekend and it looks good. Are you going to any conferences this summer that you can put your hands on the book? Definitely high school material!
