The Complete Writer: Writing with Ease instructor text
In The Complete Writer series, Susan Wise Bauer turns every parent into a writing teacher. No experience is needed.
Drawing on her fifteen years of experience in teaching writing, Susan lays out a carefully-designed sequence of steps that will teach every student to put words on paper with ease and grace. This alternative plan for teaching writing combines the best elements of old-fashioned writing instruction with innovative new educational methods—and explains why so many writing programs fail.
Designed for elementary-aged writers and for older students who still struggle, Writing With Ease builds a sturdy foundation of basic skills for grades 1–4 (or levels 1–4 for the older student who needs more work) all in the same book. Diagnostic tests within the book will help the parent to determine where the child needs to start and which workbook the child will need.
You can use the text by itself as a guide, then choose your own copywork and dictation; or you can buy the workbooks, which do all the work for you. Each workbook covers one grade.
The Complete Writer: Writing With Ease Workbook 1
Workbook 1 provides every copywork assignment, comprehension question, and reading passage that you’ll need for a full year of writing study.
Using passages and sentences from classic children’s literature, Workbook 1 allows young writers to practice their skills while absorbing the style and grace of great authors.
Charming illustrations by Jeff West add a visual element that will spark your child’s imagination.
Take the tears out of writing…use Writing With Ease!

Grades 3 +
The Complete Writer: Writing With Ease Workbook 4
This workbook provides every dictation assignment, comprehension question, and reading passage that you’ll need for a full year of study. Using passages and sentences from classic children’s literature, Workbook: Level 4 allows young writers to practice their skills while absorbing the style and grace of great authors.
Here’s a secret you might not know: If your student completed Level 3 without difficulty, you don’t necessarily have to do Level 4. You can go straight into Writing With Skill or take a year to do creative writing.
And if you’re working with a beginner, don’t start with Level 4. Do the diagnostic tests instead. Starting with Level 4 will frustrate your student.
