I feel like an idiot posting this, but I am reaching out for advice.
This is our second year of homeschooling. My ten year old started out in private school and was encouraged to write, write, write, without any structure. Last year we tried Writing With Ease and she hated it, plus I felt that it was overkill with the Memoria Press literature guides that we were using. I tried starting her in Classical Composition: Fable, but it seemed so foreign and I pushed it until I could review the teaching instructions.
This year we are doing, except for math, MP core curriculum. We are trying again with CC, and I feel awkward. I've never struggled to teach Language Arts! I was considering switching over to Writing With Skill and then working through Classical Comp over the summer.
Advice? (Especially from large families?) I've never balked at the difficulty of any other MP product - they are challenging, and we love them - but we are struggling here. I am not a bad writer, in my pre-homeschool days as an attorney I was published in professional journals - but I feel so unfamiliar with the progym that I think it is hindering her progress.
thank you!
