Structure and Style for Students

With Structure and Style for Students, your students will delight in Mr. Pudewa’s humorous, incremental, and effective writing lessons. 

IEW's Core Methods
Institute for Excellence in Writing's (IEW) methods are designed to develop a student's organization skills (structure) and artistic flair (style)

 Structure

With IEW's nine structural models, teachers teach step-by-step: note making and outlines, writing from notes, retelling narrative stories, summarizing a reference, writing from pictures, summarizing multiple references, inventive writing, formal essay models, and a formal critique.

Style

Using IEW's stylistic techniques such as strong verbs, quality adjectives, and sentence openers, students incrementally move from basic to a variety of sentence structures, improved vocabulary and more sophisticated writing.
It's a method that works.

IEW's methods provide a comprehensive, systematic, graduated approach for developing great writers. Your students will become fully capable of extracting their ideas, organizing their thoughts, and presenting their results clearly and competently. Guaranteed!

Many parent/teachers choose to use videos in the first year to lay a foundation for their students while giving the instructor time to become familiar with the program.

IEW helps students develop thinking skills.

IEW’s methodology provides a blueprint that students can use to develop their critical thinking skills. As Andrew Pudewa, founder and director of IEW, would say, “You can’t get something out of a brain that isn’t in there to begin with. If you want to think of something, you have to ask yourself a question. Thinking and learning to think is integrally connected with learning to ask good questions.”
