    So excited about this! I just ordered!

    Is it possible to get a general scope and sequence of the next few levels? Just generally what would be covered in each level? Because I will definitely be using this series with my youngest 2 students, but I am trying to decide if I want to make a switch and use it as a “crash course” with my 11th grader. So it would help to have an idea of where it is ultimately going.

    I would love to hear your review of this once you get it. I haven’t looked at it yet but I sure will when I get time. Looks really interesting!

    Erin, yes, I will let you know! I am looking through it this week. I love it so far! Can’t wait to see the next levels eventually!

    I finally looked through the sample and I really liked it. I love the idea of having kids write narrations and then use those in a writing lesson from this book once a week. I also really like the topics covered. So practical and straight-forward! If I was going to buy a writing curriculum, this might be the one.

    I know this was posted in the SCM Facebook group. There are homeschooling parents on the forum who are not on Facebook, so I’m posting the general scope and sequence for the composition course here too.

    As a whole 4-year course, “The Art of Composition” will teach students advanced editing skills, logical flow, the creative writing process, and essay building. They will also complete other specific writing exercises to work through various challenges they may experience in their communications.

    Are there plans for ULW 4 and 5?   Or does “The Art of Composition”  replace those?

    I’m not on Facebook at all.    I appreciate the info on this forum!

    There are plans (in the works!) to finish out the Using Language Well series. The Art of Composition does not replace ULW but is a complement to it.

    As usual, we don’t have release dates yet. We are working diligently on many projects at this time and will announce when they are ready for purchase in our weekly email and in our Facebook group.

    Thank you Karen. I am also not 9n Facebook at all. I really liked when this forum was more active.

    I am very interested in the composition course as well. I think I will use it next year. My dyslexic son is 13 and doing very well with ULaW and spelling wisdom level 3 this year along side All About Spelling. I was trying a writing “program” this year,but after teaching nothing that I hadn’t already taught him, I am having him work on writing fluency with more written narrations than he had been doing. Mechanics and spelling are slowly slowly coming, but his writing is getting longer!
