Discover the Greek tradition of progymnasmata to give your children a classical understanding of writing and oratory. Author and teacher Kathy Weitz details this incorporative method of teaching writing on Tuesday, June 30 at 9:00 p.m.

Teaching writing is admittedly one of the most important, yet the most challenging, aspects of home education. But with outlines and step-by-step instructions for planning and editing compositions, writing can be a manageable task--even for a homeschooling parent with limited writing expertise. In this informative webinar, author and teacher Kathy will discuss the graduated series of exercises that has produced many of the best thinkers, authors, and statesmen of the western world. With a classical writing approach, progymnasmata's integration of grammar, logic, and literature analysis can cultivate holistic writing skills in your students, as well. 

This webinar will provide an overview of the entire Classical Writing curriculum, with a focus on the beginning stages of writing instruction from 3rd to 7th grade.
