Re: your experience with IEW please
I used it when my dc were in those same grades. Dd who is creative and likes to write, hated it. Ds who couldn't get words on paper, thought it was ok. I think it's a good program for teaching kids who aren't creative how to write. It helps them learn the mechanics of organized writing without making them come up with ideas to write about. Each lesson gives an essay for them to work with and paraphrase. They take notes on the essay and then rewrite it in their own words while also adding extras to make it more interesting and to include a wider vocabulary.
