I have now graduated my two oldest children. As I have said before, I only have one regret in homeschooling. I wish I had watched the Teaching Writing: Structure and Style seminar sooner. I learned so much from Andrew Pudewa about writing and about teaching in general. In fact, I plan to listen to the entire seminar again this summer!

What is Teaching Writing: Structure and Style?

Teaching Writing: Structure and Style is a 14-hour long seminar taught by master teacher Andrew Pudewa. It’s for teachers, not for kids. So, homeschool mom, it’s for you!

He explains his writing philosophy and how to implement it for all your kids, elementary through high school. The system can be used with only one child at home, with a group at a homeschool co-op, and even in a school classroom.

My kids have done IEW here at home and at a couple of co-ops that we have been a part of.

Teaching Writing: Structure and Style seminar has been so helpful because teaching writing does not come naturally for me.

Teaching Writing: Structure and Style 1-year streaming version

I’m really excited that they now have a 1-year streaming version that is only $99! This makes it very affordable because the DVD version is almost twice as much.

  1. Homeschool Parenting Summit 2.0 October 16-21, 2023
  2. We’ve done SWI B and Ancient History Writing

  3. I haven’t used IEW yet, but I’ve heard great things about it!

  4. I love the concept of the KWO (keyword outline) and am working at teaching my boys to use that methodology for many things (including their scout merit badge work).

  5. We have not used IEW yet but I’m looking at their spelling and writing for next year.

  6. I’ve used the key word outline method

  7. Lisa Potts says:

    I’ve been looking and looking at all of the IEW products and I tend to get overwhelmed by where I should start. It will be a part of our homeschool soon.

  8. Heidi Hayes says:

    We have used IEW for years, but I have never watched the TWSS videos. I have always wanted to, but could never afford it.

    1. Yes, the seminar is pricey. The streaming version is certainly a more affordable option. 🙂

  9. Lisa Metcalf says:

    I am very excited about using IEW. I think it will be great for my son.

  10. Chrystal Love says:

    I NEED this in my Boys’ lives!! I haven’t used IEW yet, but have heard AMAZING things. My two little boys would rather eat vegetables or pull their own teeth than to sit down and write. Praying to be a WINNER this time =)

    1. Boy, does Andrew Pudewa know how to relate to your boys! That’s the beauty of his system, it works for all kids!
      —Gena

  11. I’m looking into writing curriculum for next year. I know of IEW but have never used it or seen it in practice.

  12. Jennifer Clayton says:

    The IEW seminar would be a blessing to our household! We’ve had to move around so much the last 4 years plus I’ve had major health issues, both of which have led us to fall behind tremendously with our schoolwork. I struggle with where to start in getting caught up with his writing. I don’t want to start over from the beginning, but don’t want to skip too much either and jump ahead too far. Having a framework like the one in the giveaway would be awesome! Good luck to all those who enter, and God bless!

  13. Tonya Nickell says:

    We have used IEW for 3 years (2 at home and 1 year in Essentials-Classical Conversations) I love how they teach writing skills using a KWO and all the dress ups. I especially love the checklist at the end of each assignment making it easier to make sure we have everything in our paragraph/essay.

    1. I totally agree about how great the dress-ups and checklists are!
      –Gena
