“There are many great things about Katie’s writing course –
It is divided into many small manageable steps, can be used with upper elementary thru high school students, including my dyslexic high school son who has tried many different programs with no success. With this program he was able to write his first essay! It’s extremely affordable. And Katie took a lot of time reviewing his final essay, emphasizing the positive and offering helpful tips. This was a confidence boost for a smart kid who hates to write!”
