Help me choose the SWI for IEW

[Stirsmommy]

My daughter is starting seventh (we are a weird schedule going on here) and I am certain she could benefit from IEW. Now I am trying to figure out what to get for the SWI. Should I go with B or C. If I get B will I need C? How did you decide?
TIA

Well I guess it really depends on what you need from her. The only real difference between B and C is creative writing and some brain inventory that I really don't like anyways. If I had a child in 7th I would probably go with SWI-C because of the lecture notes and the in-depth critique it teaches. Remember you move through this at their pace.
Her writing curriculum would look something like this like this:
7th-SWI-C
8th- SWIC-CC (this can take 1-2 years depending on the pace)
9th/10th- High School Essay Intensive/SAT Prompts
11th-Literature Analysis/Advanced Communication Series
12th British Literature or Shakespeare

Just some ideas...

Thanks, I think I will go with C. I had read all of their info but still couldn't decide. Hopefully, just to be sure I will be able to rifle through B and C at our state convention since IEW has a booth.
