As the world enters a new phase of education and learning, Time4Writing needs to be on your radar to help both you and your children ease the transition to the new hybrid model of learning. It is a superb supplement to the traditional learning model, an unfortunate casualty of the ongoing health crisis. At first glance, the Time4Writing website is laid out nicely. It gives an informative overview of the options available and curriculum-based tutorials so that both home educators and teachers alike can follow the appropriate standards. The website can look wordy at times, but given that there is a lot of information to research and review, parents understood why. Time 4Writing is unique in that each eight-week program has an assigned teacher whom students interact with to complete the curriculum. The Elementary level is comprised of short videos that are easy to follow. There are both review questions and quizzes to determine proficiency. There are multiple chances to review one’s work before submitting it. The feedback as to why an answer is right or wrong is clear and concise, and the outlined schedule is conducive to helping stay on pace without feeling overwhelmed. For the Middle School and High School Mechanics sections, a similar approach is used as an outline. The course helps take a student’s writing to the next level by diving deeper into the nitty-gritty parts of sentence structure. Assignments are graded within 24 hours, so the fast feedback can be helpful to continue accelerating your child’s learning. Several reviewers noted how Time4Writing is great even for adults. Although proper writing mechanics can fade as we all get older, this can be used as a great refresher course. Testers felt that the price point for the system was more than reasonable for the services provided and told us that they would heartily recommend Time4Writing, not only for homeschooled children but as a supplement for any student’s writing.
