Writing Quiz

Which is Better?

 "A thing of beauty is a  joy forever."  
    - John Keats

VS.


 "Pretty stuff can be  enjoyed for a really long  time."  
  -Typical Student

The difference between Keats and common writing is that Keats mastered the fundamentals of how sound relates to writing.  The Writing Course uniquely pours this amazing skill into every student who follows our powerful process.

Do you know the 3 Stage Process that releases your child's natural ability to write? 

Did you know that this same 3 Stage Process trains them to teach themselves?


        Two of my boys, 14 and 12, are very reluctant writers. They really
prefer copy work because it is "safe"...

        Mr. Lybrand's way of talking them through the lessons is very reassuring and he makes it sound so easy. My boy's listened to what he said and then did it.  They started writing! I was impressed.

                -Susan Seaton

Whether you’re homeschooling your children or looking for a way to teach yourself, the simple fact is that all great writers learn the secret of writing in the three specific steps we'll clearly teach you .


From Dr. Fred R. Lybrand


My name is Fred Lybrand and for the last 30 years I have been studying Effectiveness in Writing for my career, my hobby, and to pass it on as a heritage to my children. Although I have two degrees in language arts, my doctorate, and 4 published books--- I have had some of my greatest success in showing others the power and ease of writing with excellence. Therefore, I decided to put this course together to help your child overcome all of the common obstacles most kids face in trying to learn how to write well.

One disavantatage of homeschooling is that we are tricked into thinking we have to compete with the schools. No parents involved in education can do exactly what a mass education school does – however they can do a lot more! Above the religiousacademic issues of homeschooling is the unique ability of homeschooling to help children learn to teach themselves. The Writing Course is a great supplement or stand alone curriculum for teaching parents exactly how to give the feedback necessary to develop excellent writers.

Good writing is something that comes very easy to students once they know the secret of their language instinct. In fact, once a student learns our method, he’ll never “have to” take another basic writing class again...GUARANTEED.

So what makes a great home school writing curriculum?

There are tons of phony and misleading sites out there that offer dry and unsuccessful approaches to writing. Make sure the information you considering buying includes the following:

  • Active reading and creative writing as the primary English grammar mini-lessons
  • A wise distaste for learning or teaching grammar rules
  • A method for training in the classical “how it sounds” approach to grammar
  • Why too much grammar instruction hurts learning how to write
  • How to uncover and develop each student’s unique writing style
  • A non-expensive high school homeschooling program which can be reused for consistent review.

Here's how The Writing Course makes a difference in learning for homeschool families…

I’m sure I wouldn’t love to write if Dad had taught me to worry over grammar.

- Forrest Lybrand, San Antonio, Texas



After we got the Writing Course - my daughter, R., didn't want to do it (this is her). So I told her she had to anyway. After only a few lessons I can tell it is one of her favorite subjects - and she has come to me and told me "He's right about that part of writing."

I never thought this would happen, really, but it just doesn't insult anyone's intelligence and is not really about "grammar" and "English" at all - except speaking well and using that on paper or knowing why you want to do otherwise.

-S.G., Colorado


In view of the widespread agreement of research studies based upon many types of students and teachers, the conclusion can be stated in strong and unqualified terms that the teaching of formal [traditional] grammar has a negligible or, because it usually displaces some instruction and practice in actual composition, even a harmful effect on the improvement of writing. (pp. 37-38)

Publication Information: Book Title: The Teacher's Grammar Book. Contributors: James D. Williams - author. Publisher: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates. Place of Publication: Mahwah, NJ. Publication Year: 1999.



A large part of your life was spent in learning English grammar and usage.

What did you get out of it? How often do you use your precious knowledge of moods and tenses, participles and gerunds, demonstrative pronouns, and subordination conjunctions?

The obvious answer is, Never. You speak, read, write all day long, but throughout your adult life you haven't spent a single second deciding whether to put a verb in the indicative or the subjunctive, or in exercising a choice between a definite and indefinite article. Grammar is something you learn, promptly forget, and dismiss for the rest of your life.

- Rudolf Flesch. How to Make Sense, pp. 48-49.

Note: Rudolf Flesch all but single-handedly brought phonics back to the forefront of teaching children to read with the publication of his best known work: Why Johnny Can't Read
