How do I know which course to choose?
First, you'll want to zero in on the appropriate grade range. Knowing that our international visitors may be using a different naming system for the grade levels, we'll lay them out for you below.
- 3rd-5th grade students (7-10yr olds) will generally use elementary courses.
- 6th-8th grade students(11-13 yrs olds) will generally use middle school courses
- 9th-12th grade students (14-19 yr olds) will generally use high school courses.
Next you'll want to decide on what you hope to get from the course.
Students needing help with sentence structure and sentence mechanics will want to use:
- ES: Sensational Sentences (elementary)
- MS: Basic Mechanics (middle)
Students interested in gaining skills in paragraph writing will want to use:
- ES2: Perfect Paragraphs (elementary)
- MS1: Powerful Paragraphs (middle)
Students looking to better their essay writing skills can choose from:
- ES1: Intro to Essay Writing (elementary)
- MS2: Welcome to the Essay (middle)
- HS1: Essay Writing (high)
Students with interest in writing for specific uses can choose from:
- MS3: Writing Today (middle)
- HS2: Writing for Standardized Tests (high)
- HS3: Writing for Research Papers(high)
|
Standardized tests include a writing component which requires a very specific approach to writing.
Students will learn to master the skills required to perform with ease and confidence under the constraints and timing typical of high stakes standardized tests.
The course will feature tips and strategies from a qualified and caring teacher, as well as many practice essays with feedback.

How does communication with the teacher work?
Time4Writing has a messaging system that works much like IMs or email. All student communication with the teacher will be done via the messaging system or via forums (message boards) within the courses. Students with any questions can send their teacher a message whenever they need to.
Teachers will have parent email addresses and will send any necessary notes to parents via email. Teachers will send mid-course and end-of-course progress reports to the parents via email. Parents may request an email conference with the teacher via the messaging system as well.
