Hello homeschoolers!
Welcome back to Homeschool is a Work of Heart. Have you ever met one of your heroes? I did back in 2015 when I met Andrew Pudewa, founder of the Institute for Excellence in Writing.

This week, I’m unpacking one of his most powerful talks, The Four Deadly Errors of Teaching Writing.
It’s a must-listen for any parent who has struggled to make writing less painful and more purposeful.
But you know me, I’ll put a positive spin on it. Instead of four deadly errors, we’ll focus on four powerful do’s: encourage, guide, structure, and recognize. Let’s dive in.
Write On!
