Our Method
What We Teach
What is IEW?
IEW stands for the Institute for Excellence in Writing. It is a unique approach that provides the structure that students need to develop confidence in the writing process, while gradually guiding them toward greater independence and creativity. They will learn nine structural models (note taking, writing paragraphs, stories, simple reports, writing from pictures, research reports, creative writing, essays, and critiques) to help them organize any type of composition. Additionally, stylistic techniques (strong verbs, quality adjectives, sentence openers, and more) are taught incrementally to gently move students from the basics into more sophisticated writing.
What We Do
Our Purpose
Write with Mrs. Brown provides engaging, mastery-based, online writing and grammar classes to homeschooling families and charter schools in the United States. We serve students in grades 3-12. Using methodologies based on the Institute for Excellence in Writing (IEW) program, these classes provide the foundational skills needed to help students become proficient and confident writers.
