• What is the Arrow?

  The Arrow is a monthly digital downloadable guide that features copywork and dictation passages from a specific read aloud novel. You may look at (and use!) a sample issue by clicking on the “Download a Sample” button.

  It is the indispensable tool for Brave Writer parents who want to teach language arts in a natural, literature-bathed context, using copywork and dictation. It is a language arts resource that equips you, the homeschooling parent, to fulfill your best intentions related to:

  • Spelling
  • Coral Fia Fia Only Only Melina Coral Melina Fia Melina Only Punctuation
  • Grammar
  • Literary elements
  • Quality living literature

  The practices of copywork and dictation teach your children the fundamentals of written communication. These practices naturally facilitate the development of accurate mechanics in the context of quality literature (the best words, in the best style, accurately edited).

  Melina Melina Only Fia Fia Only Fia Only Coral Coral Melina The Skinny

  • Each month, the Arrow features one novel to be read aloud to your children.
  • Each Fia Only Coral Fia Melina Fia Coral Only Melina Only Melina week, it features a selected passage from that novel. The passages are accompanied by notes that detail spelling, punctuation, grammar and literary style elements found in the passage. These notes are designed to make it easy to pre-teach the passage (no advanced preparation necessary). Three of the four weeks, we feature a specific grammar element taught with creative exercises.
  • Each guide also highlights a literary element of the month. These are elements like assonance, alliteration, dialogue, onomatopoeia, powerful verbs, rhyme, and more. Examples of the element are included in the issue and are taken from the novel featured in the Arrow.
  • Each literary element is accompanied by a writing tip or exercise that gives your kids a chance to play with the element in their own writing. The goal is to help kids notice quality writing and why it is successful. Then they can practice using the element so that eventually, they will naturally incorporate it into their original writing.
  • Each guide also provides nine Big Juicy Conversation discussion questions that provoke deeper investigation of the novel’s themes, plot, and characters.
  • Each guide features Book Club Party School ideas to help you wrap up the month with food, fun, and lively discussion.
    
    

  Brave Writer is unique on the market because we put such a strong emphasis on Literary Elements. These elements make writing pop. Your kids need to know how to use them in their own writing to be powerful writers (far more than they need to learn formats).

  How do I use it?

  You and your child will read the passage out loud to hear the musicality of the language, to notice the correct use of apostrophes or semicolons, to note new vocabulary and tricky spellings, to pay attention to the grammatical structure or the special dialogue punctuation. The Arrow supplies you with notes to help you notice what you might overlook in the passage. The Arrow helps you identify why the writing works and is enjoyable to read, as well as highlighting excellent uses of punctuation or alliteration or description.

  After you’ve enjoyed the passage together, you can explore it in one of four ways: copywork, French-style dictation, dictation, or reverse dictation. (Each of these practices is explained in the Arrow guidelines that accompanied your Arrow download.) Copywork/dictation done about once a week over several years does more to increase your child’s ability to punctuate and spell correctly than any other practice I’ve ever run across.

  The French swear by it and use dictation from Kindergarten all the way through lyceé (high school). I had to take dictation in college when I attended a French university! One other benefit to a steady diet of copywork and dictation is that eventually your kids will be able to take clear notes during lectures in high school and/or college. They will have developed an ear for really listening to the words and writing them quickly as well as accurately. This skill (writing accurately and quickly) is especially valuable in timed essay writing—college admissions tests as well as in-class essay exams.

  Consistent copywork/dictation practice allows you, the home educator, to use quality literature to cover the aspects of writing that you care most about without the tedium of workbook sentences isolated from the context of real writing.
