Why Your Children Will Love It (And Why You Will Too)

Most writing curriculum asks children to write before they know how a story works. The Young Author series does it in the order a real author does: first the ingredients of a great story, then the writing tools, then the vocabulary and story-twist secrets, and finally a full planner and draft pages for a book of their own. Children are never staring at a blank page wondering where to begin.

Every page is hands-on. Children build characters, design settings, invent villains, and draw their own illustrations, so the work feels like play. For you, there is nothing to prepare and nothing to teach from scratch. Print the next workbook, hand it over, and watch your child become the author.

Perfect For

• Homeschool families looking for a complete creative writing curriculum
• Charlotte Mason and Montessori-inspired learning at home
• Children ages 7–10 who love stories, drawing, and imaginative play
• Language arts blocks, morning basket, and daily writing time
• Reluctant writers who need structure and small, doable steps
• Summer, rainy-day, and winter-break writing projects
• Parents who want a no-prep writing program

How to Use It

Work through the four books in order. Part 1 can be completed over two to three weeks with one or two pages a day, followed by the Writer's Toolbox and Story Power Tools at a similar pace. Children who are ready to move faster can complete a book a week. By the time they reach Part 4, they will have a character, a setting, a villain, and a plot already in hand.

Younger or newer writers (7–8) benefit from sitting beside a parent for the planning pages and dictating ideas aloud. Confident writers (9–10) can work independently and use the revision and editing checklists on their own. Pair the series with a library trip for favorite storybooks, a read-aloud of a classic tale, or a nature walk to gather ideas for settings.
