  1. Step up to writing poster

    Posted by Unknown on 7th May 2013

    received the posters fast! in excellent packaging as well.




  2. Good material, book needs improvement

    Posted by Allison on 14th Mar 2013

    Great program and material, but dividers would be helpful. Also, the covers, pages, and binding are so cheap and flimsy that the book shifted in mailing and arrived bent and battered. It won't even stand up on a shelf without bending. I predict that it will be in horrible condition with only a few weeks of use.

  3. STEP UP TO WRITING SECONDARY

    Posted by CAROL GALLETTA on 1st Nov 2012


    YOU NEED TO ADD A TABLE OF CONTENTS AND DIVIDERS! THE BOOK IS NOT USER-FRIENDLY!!!

  4. Recommended for my struggling writer

    Posted by Unknown on 23rd Oct 2012

    We home school and this program was highly recommended by a writing specialist for My seventh grade son that has always struggled
    With writing. So far we like it a lot!
