CW Aesop or SWB Writing w Ease?

I am planning curriculum for next fall for ds9 and dd7 - will be 4th and 3rd. What would you guys reccommend for writing? I have used Writing Strands this year along with EM's sentence building/ paragraph building/ story writing books. Dd loves to write and is very creative (writes poetry for fun most afternoons) but has grammar and form to improve on. Ds would prefer NOT to write but picks up on the grammar/spelling/ form easily. I've also read good things about Writing Tales. (Both dc have gone through FLL - if that is helpful for what to choose.) Thank you.

But I see you have that in the options! I am planning on using that next year with my 3rd grader. It looks gentler than Aesop. A friend has this and has used it and now she understands it, but it took a while, so I really like the look of WT for younger students. SWB's program does not have the workbooks available for 3rd grade yet, in case that matters for you. It's too much for me to not have the workbook yet, thus I'm going with WT. HTH!

Thanks so much for a thumbs up for WT. Another thread just popped up highlighting WT for the younger grades. I'll go with that! Where do I order it?

My 10 yo is doing WT 2 right now and really enjoying it. I wish WT 3 was available for next year!! I bought ours from www.writing-tales.com (http://www.writing-tales.com). If you have any questions Amy is prompt to answer.

Good Luck!
