// WELCOME //
New here?? I would love to get to know you better!
I'll go first:
I'm Kaela, a Homeschool Graduate turned Homeschool Momma of two girls. We are a Latino family, living our best life in a little 1930s fixer-upper in Texas. Although we are a family of faith, we typically stick to secular resources in our homeschool. I love homeschooling, pretty books, dance breaks, and turning my humble abode into a home. Oh, and a lot of coffee!
I hope you'll stay awhile 🧡

Join me in looking closely at the Write by Number curriculum 😊
What are you using to teach composition in your homeschool?
Hi, does this curriculum include keyword outlines as in IEW? Please describe the type of outlining taught. This would be very helpful. Thank you! I gave the video a thumbs up. ❤️
@@user-vg8ez9cu6u thank you! I don't see anything in here about a key word outline. As far as I can tell, that's a specific IEW method for organizing ideas in writing. Write By Number teaches different methods for organizing ideas, working one sentence at a time to teach various types of sentences (patterns). Later, it teaches different ways to layer those sentence patterns into a paragraph, and then later still, an essay.
@@OdetoAbode thank you for the clarification. I appreciate it. 🙏
Oh my goodness. As a homeschool mom, I watch a lot of curriculum videos (don’t we all?). Your review of Write by number is hands down the best review video I’ve watched. You answered every question I thought of coming into it and that popped into my head while watching. Great great job ❤ thanks mama!
Wow! That is such a lovely compliment! Thank you for making my day :)
Wonderful flip through!! Funny you had the post it about “not fun, not magical, etc.” because that was the first thing 9yo said. “But I want to write my own stuff and shove it all in one (run on) sentence!” Told her to trust the process and save the juicy bits for the second and third power sentences and just in a month’s time, her writing has completely taken off! Loving WBN so far.
That's amazing to hear!
I bought this after watching your video ans we have used it consistently for the past 4 weeks and i am really liking it. My 8 yr old reluctant writer jut wrote a 5 sentence paragraph all by himself today and it was a great paragraph. My 11 yr old is moving faster through it but he is doing well with it as well. Thanks for the recommendation
So happy to hear that!
Thank you for sharing this! My daughter (and I) struggle with writing thanks to our ADHD so I've been looking for something structured and linear. After trying this curriculum for 14 days, I knew that this was it. For sure, this curriculum is boring and not fun but it's getting the job done. An added bonus is that it doesn't take up a lot of time (so far). Again, thank you for the video.
Yes! I have found the exact same result in our homeschool after a few weeks of using.
Thank you very much for this, I’m really loving having more options that allow children to stay in one program throughout and move at their own pace. For math we fell in love with learn math fast a couple years ago and I think write by number will fit into our family in a similar way. I shared this video to a few friends because you did an excellent job showing the ins and outs and explaining how the program works and could be implemented. Also I agree, the cover/design is very well done 😅❤
I'm so happy you found the video helpful!
Great Review! Looking forward to seeing an update and hearing how it’s worked for your guys!
I hadn't heard of this before. Thank you for sharing! I'm using Writing & Rhetoric with my sixth grader (not secular) and nothing with my second grader other than handwriting copywork and things that come up in science workbooks.
@odetoabode
Thank you for your review. I searched for flip through reviews of WBN, and no luck. I think we'll try the 14-day trial, then the $5.00 monthly subscription.
I love this! I'm glad I learned about this curriculum. I just might try it out for my kids!
Fantastic flip-through! This looks great ❤
Wow! Thank you so much for this flip through. It looks awesome, excited to hear how it goes for y’all ❤
Such a great review! Thank you for being so thorough ❤ definitely going to look into this!
Hi! Thanks so much for this flip through, and for introducing me to a new option for teaching writing!
This looks amazing!
Thank you for sharing this. I am going to sign up for the 2 weeks free trial. I'm crossing my fingers that this is our 'Goldie Locks'.
Love this, thank you!
I'll be using Rooted in Language but I'm looking to add to that as a compliment, Write by number is one option I'm looking at. Thank you for the flip through
I'm using WBN to compliment elements from The Writing Revolution. So far, so good. I think your idea could work nicely!
This was so helpful and detailed. Thank you!
This one is new to me. Interesting.
How are you using WBN across content subjects? Would love to see some examples. Thanks!
Update coming soon!
What size notebook would be appropriate for each school year? Would a one subject notebook be enough?
@@kellylwong of you're doing writing every day of the school year, you'll probably want a notebook between 180-200 pages. If you're doing it less often, like 1-2x a week, maybe you could get by with 50-80 pages.
Have you used IEW? It would be interesting to see a comparison between the two. I'm looking forward to an update once you have used this for a while and how you will use this with multiple kids( the price would be too much to have each child to have their own book, I would think)
Did you buy this on their website or somewhere else?
Agreed! I only got one student book and plan to use it with both my girls. There's no need to write in it. I bought the set directly from their website.
I find IEW quite intimidating and overwhelming. But I'm keeping an eye on it! I have a couple friends trying it out so I'll be watching for their reviews.
@@OdetoAbode Is your plan to have your girls do it together( same time) or will you work with them 1:1?
@@diannaannette6956 I started them at the same point, but my oldest is progressing at a faster rate. So I have one girl on stage one, and another on stage two. The actual instruction time is so short so I'm having no trouble with them being 1:1 right now 😊
Thanks for the review. Are you still you using this?
Do you need both student books and teacher guide?? I have twins and wasn’t sure if they could share or anything
I would just buy one of each of the TG and S. Kids can share one SB, as they don't need to write in it at all. That's exactly how we're using it with 2 kids :)
Does this help with any sentence level work? Writing good sentences? Or is this more just about putting sentences into the paragraph forms?
Ohh I looked it up on their website…. I think I understand that the sentence level work is the 30+ numbers on the right. Little confusing how it all works.
Yes, over the entire program, your child will learn those 38 sentence patterns, or types of sentences.
Stage one starts with a sentence and they build from there, but they will continue to learn sentence variations through all the stages to improve their sentences
Does this have a kindergarten level?
One set of books will last you through all grade levels. However, you should not begin using this until your child is a proficient reader.
