Her methods around how children learn to write are eye opening, and has certainly taught me how important my role is in partnering with my children in their writing development, and just how long that takes. I think in 20 years time, the (secular) home school world is going to look at Julie in the same way that educators now look back at the work of John Holt. She is a home school veteran who has been there, done that and got the T-shirt! So what is Brave Writer? Put at its simplest, its a writing program designed by a home schooler (who is also a professional writer) for home schoolers it is however, much more than that.īrave Writer's creator, Julie Bogart shares a wealth of wisdom that you only get from someone who has battled the trenches and got out on the other side still alive.
I shout about it to friends, I'm always recommending it in home school forums, and I feel after a year of using it with my own family, you will love it just as much as I do! It is for me, like a home educators teachers pack, encompassing guidance I would never have discovered, in so much more than just teaching writing.
The Brave Writer programme and general home education lifestyle it teaches, has completely transformed my own home school practices over the past year, and I honestly don't think I'd still be standing here today had I not somehow discovered the world of Brave Writer.Įven though I have always felt I had clarity that home education is not the same as school-at-home, and have always certainly tried to keep away from that model (bar our first official day where I'm sure I remember standing over my 4 year old because that's what *teachers* do.cringe!), I don't think I could completely shake off "school" and give myself and my children the level of freedom home education truly gives.īrave Writer however, has gifted me a whole new perspective not only on kids writing, but on home schooling and family life in general. I will be so bold as to say, much of my home schooling joy has come by way of lessons from the Brave Writer education philosophy, if I can call it that! If you know me, or if you pay any attention to the FaceBook page, you might actually already know.Ī little over a year ago I stumbled upon the world of Julie Bogart and Brave Writer, completely revolutionising my home school.
I have a little secret I've been sitting on, and its time I split the beans.
