Why Effective Communication Matters with Andrew Pudewa, Director of the Institute for Excellence in Writing

Uncategorized

15 May

Are you raising effective communicators?

Andrew Pudewa is a well-known name in the homeschool world and for good reason. His ideas on effective communication and the four arts of language – listening, speaking, reading, and writing – have helped to shape our homeschool over the years.

I’m excited to share with you today some practical and thought-provoking ideas on how to help your child – no matter what his challenges – to become a more effective communicator and to understand why it’s so important.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • how you can help your children to grow in their thinking and communication skills
  • how the Four Arts of Language will make you think differently about Language Arts
  • why age and ability have little to do with each other
  • why IEW’s products work so well with all children, no matter what their challenges
