Someone mentioned the Draw Write Now books on another thread. This looks like something my kids would really enjoy. I was also looking at Draw and Write Through History and that looks good as well, but those books don’t have much on the Renaissance and Reformation and that’s what we’re up to. Any input on either of these, or is there something else that you’d recommend?
If you want them for going along with history do Draw and Write Through History. However, the drawings are more difficult (not broken down step by step as much as Draw Write Now. Look at the samples on each site to see what I mean.
We have both. We have had Draw Write Now (whole set) for years and my kids have loved it. We just got two of the Draw and Write Through History books a month ago to go with history and my older kids (artistic 6yo and up) love it.
I’ve used both of these with my children. They really enjoyed them, although for some reason didn’t enjoy drawing the pictures even though they all love to draw. In my opinion, the Draw Write Through History was too expensive for the content. We only did book 1 and book 2, and especially in book two, most pages are drawing instruction. There weren’t many copywork pages and I didn’t proceed any further with the series.
On the other hand, my youngers who are using the Draw Write Now books are just finishing their second book and we started them in July, so I think there is plenty of content in those for the ages they are to be used for.
Hope this helps some!
Thanks. That is helpful. I’m also checking out History Scribe at Currclick. Those look mostly like titled notebooking pages, but also look interesting.
The Draw and Write Through History are in cursive, while the others are manuscript. One of my DC isn’t writing in cursvie yet, so I used a handwriting worksheet generator and made worksheets in manuscript…I did some for cursive as well, so they’d have it all on one page. There probably isn’t an entire year’s worth of copywork, but my DC are really enjoying it so far. We’ll just substitute with other copywork as needed. My DC really enjoy drawing, so we’ve been spending about 5 minutes on copywork and 5-10 minutes on drawing. I believe it says ages 8 and up and that seems accurate. My 8yo struggles a bit with the drawings, but with a bit of encouragement, they come out lovely. I’m planning on picking up the Draw Right Now next year (when I have a 1st grader).
We’re in Mod 1, so I picked up the first book, Creation Through Jonah. We’ll just go through the lessons that relate to our studies (a few will fit in with Mod 2). When that’s finished, we’ll go pack to copying poems, Bible verses, McGuffey readers, etc.
I agree with what everyone said. Draw Write Now is for younger ages, than Draw & Write through History.
Yes I agree too. We have almost all of the Draw Write Now and my kids really enjoyed them. Last year I bought book 1 of Draw and Write through history as it went with our history module but it was more difficult to follow and there aren’t as many drawings for the price as Draw Write Now. I probably won’t purchase another Draw & Write through History unless they ask for it.
