The Five Pillars of Writing Progress
A mini workshop for homeschooling parents and other educators
This workshop will give you a big picture understanding of the craft of writing and a helpful reminder about the purpose of a K-12 language arts education. With this information, you will be able to select curriculum and classes with more intention, plan a better course of study for your student(s), and design better “ad hoc” writing assignments. If you are considering investing in any courses or training at Teach to the Text, this workshop will also help you determine which options (if any) are right for you and your homeschool.

The 12-Paper Plunge
Homeschool Bundle
Never complain about a lack of feedback again! You can now do the 12-Paper Plunge at home. Parents can now take things into their own hands and become their high school student’s own best writing coach.
-
Whether you run a homeschool or just think your student isn’t doing enough writing in school, you can get your child writing again.
-
This is a writing and thinking program.
-
Your high school student probably doesn’t need them. He or she just needs a good writing coach.
-
The training you will receive will pay off for years, as your children move from middle school into high school.
-
This bundle will get you and your student talking about the BIG IDEAS! It will also make feedback more objective, more meaningful, less arbitrary, and therefore less annoying to your teen!
-
As you are learning to become your children’s own best writing coach, Ms. Finnigan will be there to support you, through live “coaching the coaches” sessions where you can receive personal guidance.
Before you invest…
The 12-Paper Plunge Homeschool Bundle requires an investment of both money and time on the part of the parent. Before purchasing, do take the free quiz (scroll up) or enroll in the $19 workshop, The Five Pillars of Writing Progress. The main workshop video (20 minutes) will provide background and context, and the bonus video will then explain how (and why) the 12PP works. Even you decide after taking the workshop that the 12PP Homeschool Bundle is not right for you, you will be better equipped to go out there and find what is — or your money back!
"Ms. Finnigan’s course bundle* was the best investment I have made for my daughter’s Language Arts instruction! We started homeschooling when she was in 6th grade, and I was concerned to find that she had not learned many of the things I considered to be 'the basics' of writing when in elementary school. As a confident writer myself, I was surprised that I was not at all confident in my ability to teach her to write or to assess her writing. As my daughter started 9th grade, I knew we needed some help to reach our goal - that she would become a competent and confident writer. I’m so grateful to have found Ms. Finnigan’s courses! Her friendly and engaging manner quickly put my daughter and I at ease. This step-by-step approach to essays and textual support is easy to understand, and it has given me the tools I need to help my daughter improve her writing. Since taking the course, I have found myself referring my daughter back to her notes …and she is becoming more confident and independent in applying the concepts to her writing. Ms. Finnigan’s How to Assign and Grade portion of the course for parents encouraged me and gave me confidence to evaluate essays for improvement and growth. Don’t try to go it alone; add [this bundle] into your homeschool Language Arts instruction and discover the joy of writing! Thanks, Ms. Finnigan!"
