Testimonials
I am a homeschool mom to 6 children. I was first introduced to IEW when my 3 older daughters began middle school in a local Christian School. They all grew up to become such effective writers! Recently, when I began homeschooling my younger 3, I signed the middle schoolers up for the Narnia IEW class with Nikki Nolte. It was such a wonderful year watching them learn the structure for writing and eventually turning in several very creative papers.
Nikki met with the parents several times throughout the school year and shared the IEW videos and discussed how we could help extend the reaching techniques in our homes. I have personally struggled with my own writing but felt I too learned quite a bit from Nikki’s instructions and am grateful for her teaching.
The Narnia course books were wonderful as were the many examples she prepared for the students. Her communication and instructions regarding the children’s assignments were consistently clear and concise. It was a pleasure and a blessing having Nikki Nolte as a teacher and are confident that we are much better writers for having her guidance.

Mrs. Nolte's writing class is not only an amazing learning experience but an adventure in exploring the world of writing short stories, paragraphs, and creative writing. Before I began the class, my writing included no dress-ups, and it was often a dull and boring. As I left the class, often just little notes of mine included dress-ups and exciting sentences! Not only did my academic skills grow but so did my character. I began to develop time management due to the way Mrs. Nolte kept her class schedule and charts. Over the two years that I attended her JHJ class and one year of high school IEW and Literature, my writing has improved immensely, and I look forward to watching it improve even more!

My daughter has had the pleasure of being taught by Mrs. Nolte for a few years now.
IEW was new to my daughter and me, and Nikki's thoughtful and instructive teaching has helped us understand this wonderful way of writing. I wish I had this known this style of writing when going thru school myself.
My daughter has also had Mrs. Nolte for a range of other subjects, Junior High Journey, and each is presented in a thoughtful and engaging way. She makes the lessons fun and interesting.
I have appreciated the push to have my 8th grader become an independent worker. She gives clear checklists of what is expected of the student each week and work that needs to be finished. This has helped my daughter learn to work on her own and be accountable for her work. She has enjoyed her class time with Mrs. Nolte and the environment she has created in her classes all while keeping our homeschooling lifestyle.
