That link is awesome!  Would that I had had this about 3 or 4 years ago! My oldest is a writer and would have used this if she had known of it. :)

Have her write short stories. They do not have to be perfect, just from the heart!

I think Spectrum has a workbook for grammar. I like their style.

I've used Spectrum and they are low cost. I'll have to check them out. Thanks

I have a web site that you can learn to write a book. I think that is a great idea too.
