Although t...Wa'alaikum asalaam wa rahmatullah,<br /><br />Although there was a time we stopped reading fiction, I found during that time it was difficult to encourage their reading, because they were so young, and so we do read fiction with the intent it is helping to build their reading development. - we are very selective of reading material though, and as they are getting older, we are encouraging more non-fiction reading.<br /><br />However, I don't encourage writing fiction. Creative Writing assignments actually do not need to be fiction. It is possible to write creatively using imaginative prompts, for example asking to imagine if XYZ was to happen what would you do.<br /><br />Likewise, when it comes to story telling, use non-fiction stories from History, Islamic and non Islamic. I find that the children enjoy non fiction stories much more because of the fact they know it is real.<br /><br />With the Arrow Guides, these are all based on fiction books. As I mentioned in the post, we do use the Arrow guides, because I find them to be an innovative way to teach grammar and punctuation. However, with that being said, I am extremely selective in the book choices, for example, The One and Only Ivan is a book based upon the true story of a Gorilla who lived in a shopping Mall in America. <br />So although the reading is rather fictional, because the story is told through the eyes of the Gorilla, it is based on a real event, which leads the way into further research about Gorillas and captivity and starts the discussion around animals in captivity for example.

Very interesting post. ...As salaamu alaikum sister,<br />Very interesting post. I read in a couple of your other posts that it is not recommended to read or write fiction because of the scholars you mention. Then, what do your children write about? Is it non-fiction? I guess I am wondering if the assignments in the Partnership Program are non-fiction or are they creative writing assignments, which means they are writing fiction? Do you have to adapt it a lot? I'm so curious how you are teaching your children to write without writing fiction, I guess! Essays maybe? Thanks so much habibti.

Definitely...Wa'alaikum asalaam wa rahmatullah,<br /><br />Definitely you can use Brave Writer now....in fact now is the best time because you are right at the start of your home school adventure!<br /><br /><br />The Writers Jungle, sets you up for every stage of writing, and helps you learn how to coach your kids write (a brilliant skill to have as a parent)<br /><br />If you want something specific to his age, then take a look at "Jot it Down" (afflink) https://bravewriter.refersion.com/l/0b2.101941<br /><br />This has been designed for use between the ages of 5-8. I haven't used this particular program myself, as my youngest had already passed this stage once I started using BraveWriter, however, if Allah blesses me with more children, I'd definitely invest in this, because I am using the next program up after this, (Partnership writing) and I find it brilliant.<br /><br />If you haven't already, you may find listening in to some of Julie's videos about BraveWriter helpful to give you a better understanding of the philosophy behind the programs <br />https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNemB4-I94oNOAmAgQ68Usg/playlists <br /><br /><br />A Muslim HomeSchoolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14302870618930722578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6352794943231964483.post-81925825390788805332017-08-25T15:03:20.125-07:002017-08-25T15:03:20.125-07:00Assalamu alaikum Sister,

I was wondering if you think it is worth my investing in Brave Weiter to use with him now (and if so, which products would you advise?), or do you think I would be better off waiting a year or two?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
