Jump In, 2nd Edition

By the time your child hits middle school, you will be glad to find an easy-to-use creative writing program aimed at independent learning. Jump In’s illustrated workbook, lots of white space, large font, and short incremental daily assignments camouflage the workhorse that it is. 


Jump In will teach your child to write persuasive papers, expository essays, descriptions, narration, and poetry. 


The necessary parent/teacher guide includes how to evaluate an assignment, how to help your child proofread, and daily writing prompts designed to appeal to this age group. There are additional lessons in paragraph writing, specific student checklists for each essay assignment, and specialized grading grids to make grading the essays even easier. 


Jump In’s highly engaging, the light-hearted tone takes the tears out of creative writing.


Note: To build persuasive writing skills, Jump In encourages your child to write about any controversial topic of their choosing. Two suggested topics, among many others, are abortion and homosexual marriages. We feel that this will be age-appropriate in most families and that Jump In, written from a Christian perspective, will not be offensive to you. However, if you have never discussed these subjects with your child, you will want to be aware of their inclusion in Jump In.

Great curriculum

This is an awesome choice to use for reluctant and willing writers!
Easy to follow (for the most part) and easy to teach. Super flexible with scheduling and different goals.
Highly recommend this product

Awesome writing curriculum!

We haven't finished Jump In, but we like the structure of this curriculum. My daughter doesn't feel overwhelmed the way she has with past writing experiences.

Great Writing Curriculum!

I went through this Jump In curriculum with my daughter, who loves to write, and it taught her so much about writing. Now, I'm going through it with my son, who doesn't like writing, and I've seen so much improvement in his writing. I love how it takes you one baby step at a time through the different "Skills." It makes writing much more manageable for those of us who feel overwhelmed when told to write a paper. The book offers instruction on a wide variety of the different types of writing from persuasion papers to How-Tos. Currently, my son is learning how to write a report. I definitely think this is one of the better writing curriculums out there.

Love this!

My son is a very reluctant writer. This curriculum is very forgiving and is working with us at the speed he needs. So far, so good!

We like it

Prior to pulling my son from public school in 4th grade, he seriously struggled with writing. He could not get his ideas from his head down on paper, and he often became frustrated when it came time to complete ANY writing task. We are using this in our 2nd year of homeschooling in 6th grade and my son ENJOYS this curriculum. I love the way the assignments are broken down into manageable tasks, and he even says it has an element of humor in it. I'm so glad we went with this purchase!
