Book 1 of The Stewart Writing Program sets the tone and the purpose of the entire series, presenting the fundamentals in a clear, conversational style that never loses sight of the ultimate goal of outstanding writing skills. “That’s a common noun; make it more specific with a proper noun. Here’s a sentence by J. K. Rowling; toss out her words and put in your own.” Everything makes sense, as the students discover the confidence and creativity that has always eluded them. The “Plus...” part of every book in the series refers to the attention to both the opportunities and the stumbles that go with mastering these writing skills. For example, look at the parallel structure in the previous sentence, where the conjunctions “both...and” link the two nouns, “opportunities” and “stumbles.” Or learn the secrets of commas, which can make the writing flow, or can make it a mess. Book 1 concludes with a section called “Writing Patterns,” uniting all the lessons to inspire writing that is detailed, organized, and convincing. Together with Books 2 and 3, this series leads to success like no other writing program.

Here’s how to make the connection between reading and writing in your classroom. With examples from authors your students are already reading, you can show them how they, too, can be more specific, more descriptive, and better organized in all of their classroom writing. Using just a handful of grammar terms (think phrases and clauses), students first learn how to build their sentences far beyond the old subject–verb–direct object pattern, which inevitably turns choppy and boring. Instead, their writing becomes vivid, elegant, and flowing, in both their creative writing and their narrative essays. As they move into expository writing, they learn the power of the topic sentence, with a clear vision of how to expand that idea, through parallel structures or progressively more detailed evidence to prove their point. They write knowing what to do next, instead of staring blankly at the screen or chewing their pencil. This is the writing textbook that delivers immediate and lasting improvement in student writing. Originally published as The Christensen Rhetoric Program, the approach has now been updated and expanded through the work of Donald Stewart, a veteran classroom teacher and frequent presenter in schools and national conferences.

Book 2 of The Stewart Writing Program fills the huge gap in today's standard curriculum: grammar. But it does so in a way that is logical, relevant, and fun. Yes, here the students will find the parts of speech, the phrases, and the clauses, but with the clear and rewarding outcome of application to the writing assignments they face every day. Here they learn how to achieve detail in their stories, organization in their essays, and (finally!) that elusive quality called "flow" in their style. And as their writing becomes more sophisticated, we show them how to avoid the errors of agreement, usage, and punctuation. A pronoun in the wrong case, a verb that should be plural and not singular, a missing comma--all can tarnish an otherwise outstanding piece of writing. We take care of that. Book 2 ends with a section called "Writing Patterns," (click Read a FREE excerpt, above), which previews the amazing system of sentence structure that forms the foundation of Book 3. Together the three books in the series answer the too-common question, "Why can't these kids write?" Here it is, with a lively presentation and proven results.
