What is our mission?
Our mission is to equip teachers and teaching parents with methods (Structure and Style®) and materials (teacher-training and student materials based on this unique
approach) which will aid them (We are here to help you!) in training their students to become confident (“Children like to do what they think they can do.” – Andrew Pudewa)
and competent communicators and thinkers.

Four Deadly Errors of Teaching Writing
We’ve all suffered it at one time or another: Frustration about writing assignments. Either on the receiving end, or perhaps now on the giving end, there can be a few distinctly discouraging aspects to teaching and being taught writing. The tough questions include: What to correct and how to give a grade? How much help is too much? Isn’t the assignment clear enough? Why don’t students find their own errors? Learn and avoid four teaching mistakes that contribute to this frustration: Overcorrecting, Holding Back Help, Unclear Assignments, & Over-Expectation.
Nurturing Competent Communicators
Many parents think that good readers will naturally become good writers. Others think that writing talent is just that—a natural ability—some have it, others don’t. Both are myths. History and modern research show very clearly how good writers develop and demonstrate the two most critical things needed for a high level of aptitude in writing. With humor and insight, Andrew will share the two easy but unbelievably powerful things you can do to build language patterns and nurture competent communicators in your family.
Grammar
Step 1 -Choose the Right Level
The Fix It! Grammar is an effective, engaging, easy-to-use grammar curriculum for all ages. Students hunt for and correct errors in daily passages that cumulatively tell a story.
Elementary: Have students with limited or no grammar experience? Read through the descriptions and samples of Level 1 and Level 2 to decide the best starting point.
Middle School: Do your students have some grammar experience? Read through the descriptions and samples of Level 3 and Level 4 to decide the best starting point.
High School: If your students have significant grammar experience, take a look at the descriptions and samples of Level 5 and Level 6 (coming soon).
