Mission Statement
Our mission is to equip teachers and teaching parents with methods and materials which will aid them in training their students to become confident and competent communicators and thinkers.
Using the four language arts—listening, speaking, reading, and writing—IEW methods have been proven to be effective for students of all ages and levels of ability, including those who are gifted, have special needs, or are English language learners.
Our Founders
IEW’s methods have been developed over time.
Anna Ingham
As a primary teacher in the 1930s, Anna Ingham designed a phonics-based reading and writing program, the Blended Sound-Sight Program of Learning.
Dr. James B. Webster
As a professor at Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia in the 1970s, Dr. Webster expanded his aunt Anna Ingham’s program to meet the needs of college students.
Andrew Pudewa
While teaching 7th–8th grade English and history in the 1990s, Andrew Pudewa streamlined the coursework and received permission to market the program in the United States.
What People are Saying
What a Difference!
My son went from not putting anything on paper to being able to utilize the skills and structure that he got from IEW to writing papers sometimes longer than what's required. All I have to do is check the grammatical errors!
– Erica Jordan (Homeschool Mom)
All-time Favorite Curriculum!
I noticed improvement in my kids' writing almost immediately. No more whining from my kids means it's a win for me and them!
– Erica Arndt (confessionsofahomeschooler.com)
Provides Strategies That Work
Writing is not an easy subject to teach well, but IEW provides simple and easy-to-use strategies that support the teacher in her instruction. Before students realize it, they are writing!
– Helen Suhr (Headmaster)
Proven Methods That Work
Don't spend a lot of money on curriculums that will come and go. IEW has proven methods.
– Ara Jacobson (Homeschool Mom)
Fun and Easy to Use
I used IEW materials with all of my kids. Each of them was a different type of student. I found that the material was useful and effective for each of their different learning styles and temperaments. I found it fun and easy to use and very interactive. We have many great memories of leaning over rough drafts and laughing about stories!
– Lisa A. (Homeschool Mom)
Challenging but Not Overwhelming
Not a question but a big thank you! This is our first year homeschooling our 6th grade son. This writing class has been terrific! Mr. Pudewa does a great job of teaching and keeping my son engaged. So far, the workload has been just right. It’s challenging but not overwhelming! Many, many thanks!
– Courtney S. (Homeschool Mom)
Piece of Cake
I started using IEW in 2018 in my homeschool with my now twenty-year-old son. He wrote circles around all the others in his first-year college writing courses. He is in the top 10% of his college class and received an invitation (nominated by his writing instructor) to join Phi Theta Kappa honor society. My son has told me that he was so glad I had him take all those IEW courses throughout his middle and high school years because it has made college writing a piece of cake. We are continuing the IEW journey with our now seventh-grade daughter and eighth-grade son. Thank you!
