About IEW (Institute for Excellence in Writing) Writing

IEW Writing teaches the Structure and Style method — students read a source text, extract keywords, then reconstruct the ideas in their own words, gradually adding stylistic elements as they progress. Founder Andrew Pudewa built the method on the idea that writers, like musicians, need models to imitate before they can create original work.

TWSS (Teaching Writing: Structure and Style) trains the parent in the method; Structure and Style for Students (SSS) delivers the same method directly to the student via video. Themed variants — including History-Based Writing Lessons, Bible Heroes, and Advanced U.S. History-Based Writing Lessons — apply the same core method to specific subject content.

Best for reluctant or unsure writers who benefit from a clear, repeatable formula, and for parents who want a proven system rather than building writing instruction from scratch.

Why Families Choose It

Teaches the Parent Too

TWSS trains you in the method before your student begins.

Confidence for Reluctant Writers

A repeatable formula removes the blank-page fear.

Themed Variants Available

History, Bible, and science-themed courses apply the same method to different content.

What Families Love

  • Turns reluctant or unsure writers into confident ones with a repeatable method.
  • Video instruction means parents don’t need writing expertise themselves.
  • Themed variants (history, Bible, science) let families match writing practice to other subjects.
  • Works across a wide range of ages, from early elementary through high school.
  • Reusable across multiple children, improving cost-per-child.

Things to Consider

  • Christian-owned company; core content is secular, with an optional faith-based variant available.
  • Not a complete language arts program — needs grammar, spelling, and reading from elsewhere.
  • Scripted lessons, less parent flexibility.
  • Requires real time investment from both parent and student.
  • Higher price point if buying both parent and student courses.
