CuewordWriting Classes for Kids
Live one-on-one writing coaching for Grades 2–8, built on stories your child picks. Each term ends in a Showcase. Your child writes a story, an explainer or a case, and performs it in your presence.
Writing With a Point
Reading and writing at grade level is the starting line.
What sets a child apart is being heard: speaking up, writing with a point, holding the floor.
Built to Be Heard
The goal is a child who speaks up, explains clearly and can make a case, on the page and out loud.
Organized Writing
From one complete paragraph in Grade 2 to a multi-paragraph piece, written and delivered, by Grade 5.
Structured Writing
Cited explainers and arguments with a clear opening, body and ending.
Speak and Write
Your child listens, reads, speaks and writes about the same story, all as one experience.
Three Terms. One Coach. A Showcase Every Term.
Writing that describes, explains and persuades, with a clear point.
Term 1 · Storytelling
Telling a story well: your child reads a story closely, then retells it and writes one of their own. Ends in a Showcase: a story, told live.
Term 2 · Explaining
Explaining clearly: true stories and real topics, explained in their own words. Ends in a Showcase: an explainer, presented.
Term 3 · Persuading (Arguing in Grades 6–8)
Making a case: an opinion with reasons in Grades 2–5, and a full argument that answers the other side in Grades 6–8. Ends in a Showcase: a case, argued.
Persuasive Writing, Grade by Grade
In Term 3, Grades 2–5 write an opinion with reasons.
Grades 6–8 write a full argument that answers the other side.
Each grade page shows all three terms.
2nd Grade
Writes an opinion with reasons, compares two books using both and but, adds a describing detail, and drafts an opinion paragraph with a conclusion, then improves it after one suggestion.
Explore Grade 2 →3rd Grade
Builds from a one-reason opinion to two linked reasons backed by facts or examples, answers the other side, then drafts a full opinion paragraph and improves it after one suggestion.
Explore Grade 3 →4th Grade

Explore Grade 4 →5th Grade

Explore Grade 5 →6th Grade
Builds from a precise, arguable claim to a formal argument with reasons, credible evidence, an objection answered in advance and a bibliography, drafts it, then improves it after one suggestion.
Explore Grade 6 →7th Grade
Acknowledges the other side, answers it with reasons and evidence, places the strongest points deliberately, and drafts a full, cited argument in formal English, then improves it after one suggestion.
Explore Grade 7 →8th Grade

Questions About Writing Classes
What will my child learn across the year?
The year runs in three terms: Term 1 Storytelling, Term 2 Explaining and Term 3 Persuading (Arguing in Grades 6–8). Each term ends in a Showcase your child writes and performs in your presence. Each term also has a mid-term and an end-of-term assessment, each with a detailed report. Each level is harder than the last, and the difficulty climbs term by term and grade by grade.
Do you teach essay writing?
Yes, as part of the year. In Term 3 your child writes to persuade: an opinion with reasons in Grades 2–5, and a full argument that answers the other side in Grades 6–8. It is not test prep or college-essay prep.
What does a class look like?
Live, online and one-on-one with the same coach all term. Your child picks the stories they want to do in each class, then listens, reads, learns words in context, speaks and writes about them.
Is this homework help or exam prep?
Neither. Cueword is a communication program, built around stories your child picks. It builds how your child listens, reads, speaks and writes, which shows up everywhere.
What if my child has gaps from earlier grades?
That's common. If the evaluation or coach spots a gap, the coach fills it with foundation lessons within your 26 classes a term, with no extra classes to book.
