“IF YOU CAN’T EXPLAIN IT SIMPLY, YOU DON’T UNDERSTAND IT WELL ENOUGH.”
— ALBERT EINSTEIN
fourth and fifth Grade PARAGRAPH writing course - online video format
Eliminate the fear, confusion, and frustration! In just a short time, kids who learn The Baran Method can do what takes years for complex and difficult-to-learn programs to accomplish.
To our kids (and to their teachers), there is almost nothing more exciting than seeing a clear paragraph or essay they’ve just written. And as a parent or teacher, when your child has mastered this skill, you can rest assured you’ve prepared your child for school, college, and beyond.
Here at The Baran Method, we absolutely understand the components of successful writing and how to teach them to your kids. Each of the videos in our course will guide your child through a reading and then show your child how to analyze that reading in a written response. READING A STORY, ARTICLE, POEM, SPEECH, ETC., AND THEN ANALYZING THAT READING IN A WRITTEN RESPONSE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT WRITING SKILL YOUR CHILD CAN LEARN! Learning this skill NOW puts your child ahead of the “pack” and squarely on the road to success!
This skill seems way too hard, complex, or difficult for most, but it’s EASY when your child learns how to work with the three cornerstones of all communication—claim, evidence, and analysis.
In the course, there are four video lessons, downloadable pdf’s of the readings in each video lesson, and introductory videos to help you get going fast. Each video lesson is thirty to forty-five minutes long. The video lessons include:
Two videos that teach your child how to read critically, analyze, and write about fiction.
One video that teaches your child how to read critically, analyze and write about non-fiction.
One video that teaches your child how to write a persuasive/argumentative (aka opinion) response.
Each video shows your child how to write a clear paragraph sentence-by-sentence. They just follow along and then practice in our companion workbook or on their own. Plus, your child can watch the videos at their pace and then come to our weekly ZOOM Office Hours to ask questions and get help. One of the best parts about the videos is the ability to simply hit the REWIND button to go back over the material!
So—
Are you worried your child is not learning to write clearly?
Are you stressed about teaching writing?
Do you want your child prepared to write for school and beyond?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, your child and you will love this course!
