What are homeschool parents saying about 7Sisters Poetry Writing Curriculum?

"I'm a teacher of a high school literature co-op. We decided to tackle poetry for the second quarter. We used your beginning poetry writing guide. I had students who were very reluctant to write poems, to the point of not wanting to take the class. After six weeks of using your guide my students were requesting the next installment and had begun compiling their poems into volumes. It was so teacher friendly. We are excited about using the intermediate guide in the winter!" - Kristen M.

"I had been able to do a poetry appreciation, but had no idea how to teach the components, and hadn't found anything easy to assist me. I don't schedule this as such, but my daughter usually fits this in a day or two a week because she is interested and has found it enjoyable. Thank you." - Les M.

"I can't say enough about the curriculum that I have used with my daughter and son. We started with the Introduction Poetry. It was so well liked that we bought the following poetry units. Thank you for the curriculum that you provide at a quite reasonable price." - J. Schriner
