Brave Writer is the innovative approach to developing your kids into competent, original writers. We teach both parents and kids how to build a partnership in writing that leads to both creative expression and academic success, all while preserving the parent-child bond. Brave Writer is designed with homeschooling families in mind, but is open to all families where writing is a priority.

Learning doesn’t have an end point—you know that because you are still learning almost as much as your kids are while you homeschool them! So trust the process. Your kids will take what you give them and expand it beyond what you ever imagined.

Friday Freewrite! Think of a time when you woke up super early to do something. What did you wake up for? Was the experience worth losing sleep over? Explain why or why not.

Our online class, Brave Writer 101, gives you (the parent-coach) an amazing tutorial on how to encourage your very own budding writers.

As each Brave Writer 101 session comes to a close, we ask families a few questions about their experience. Parent Cara’s answers capture something we hear often. The value of 101 isn’t just learning what to do with your kids—it’s the chance to see supportive, effective writing instruction in action and apply what you learn well beyond the class.

Cara says:

💬 It gives you loads of thoughtful and vetted teaching tools to chew on and then actively demonstrates and models how to use those tools by having a real, live writing coach work with you and your children, one-on-one.

💬 The real-time feedback is magical. The children know their writing has been received, taken seriously, and found worthy of a cheer and a second look. The class does more than tell you how it’s done. It models how it’s done with the real stuff: actual writing from your very own kiddos. That is gold!

Four sessions have already filled and closed, but there are two left to choose from:

October 19 - December 1
November 2 - December 15

What if the thing standing between us and a satisfying homeschool rhythm isn’t the curriculum, but our resistance to sitting down and making a plan?

On the Brave Writer podcast today, we’re looking at how attention, boredom, confusion, and even our phones shape the way we approach learning. Then we get practical, building a flexible monthly rhythm around:

⚪ read-alouds,
⚪ Poetry Teatime,
⚪ copywork,
⚪ dictation,
⚪ freewriting,
⚪ nature study,
⚪ and meaningful writing projects.

The goal isn’t a rigid schedule or endless workbook pages. It’s enough preparation to help learning feel alive, responsive, and sustainable.

Join us and discover how a little scaffolding can create more freedom in your homeschool.

Here's what you can expect when you sign your child up for our online class, Building Brave Writer's: Experience:

WEEK ONE 🚀
Class begins with a description of a personal memory. Students will sharpen their writing skills by describing a small moment in vivid detail as they discover how to help readers feel part of the scene.

WEEK TWO 🚀
Students experience the fact that writers all bring a perspective to their descriptions. As they relate a memory and then interview a family member to get their take, differences in recollection become apparent.

WEEK THREE 🚀
This week is all about inventions. Students will take a look around the house with a new eye to finding inventions that matter to them. Then they’ll turn their creative brains to insert their invention into an original story.

Kids love to create and watch chain reactions.

A Rube Goldberg contraption is "a machine (or contraption or invention or device or apparatus) that uses a chain reaction to accomplish a very simple task in a very complicated manner."

This month in Brave Learner Home we'll explore Rube Goldberg machines! Our easy-peasy, moderate, and advanced-level challenges help your kids learn across the curriculum!

October's Arrow and Boomerang invite readers to see the world in different ways. With the Arrow, we'll travel across centuries and cultures in a story that weaves together two young people and their families. The Boomerang invites us to step into an unsettling world, where books are forbidden and independent thought comes at a cost. We're certain both books will inspire Big Juicy Conversations as your family explores writing mechanics and literary devices together.

Arrow (ages 11-12): The Nine Moons of Han Yu and Luli
by Karina Yan Glasser

Boomerang (ages 13-14): Fahrenheit 451
