What Teachers are Saying.

"For four years, Scary Good Writing has helped my students achieve high marks on FCAT's Florida Writes. We never scored below 4.2 as a class.The lessons got my kids excited about writing while teaching them how to become better writers. It really works and they loved it!"
- Jinny Johnson, 4th grade teacher, West Melbourne School for Science

"The 4th grade students, my fellow 4th grade teachers, and of course myself at Frontier Elementary school are delighted with your writing program found at scarygoodwriting.com!  Even students who are reluctant to write were inspired by the comical and clever way you introduce important lessons in the craft of writing, such as adjectives and sensory words (to name a few)!  We look forward to continue learning with you and your incredibly funny characters (they LOVE BONEFISH and even Mr. Butterfield!" 
- Monique Desir, 4th grade teacher at Frontier Elementary School


let our cast of characters teach your students to write well. then watch their writing scores (and their interest in writing) go up!

We made it easy for teachers to use this teaching tool. With just a click on the audio player at the top of each lesson’s webpage, students embark on a proven writing course like no other on the market. Using the mouse or scroll down key, students follow along with Mr. Butterfield and his writing apprentice Bonefish Burrows as they explore the craft of writing in a series of vignettes and stories that teach writing in a unique and memorable way. These simple but powerful lessons progress from the proper use of adjectives and adverbs to making movies of the mind (this one lesson alone will improve writing skills in a hurry).

No Other Program Like it

Picture
From a werewolf in need of a body waxing to a salesman that sells adjectives, Scary Good Writing™ uses eccentric characters and outlandish stories to create a learning environment that makes it fun to develop writing skills. The lessons are short and direct and always followed by a chuckle-inducing lesson review that covers the most common mistakes made by students. Scary Good Writing™ makes better writers- GUARANTEED.

A Funny Thing Happened...

Picture
Studies have found that participants who were exposed to a series of lectures containing course-specific humor demonstrated increased retention of the course-content information as compared to those who received the same material without the infusion of humor. That's why the developer of Scary Good Writing™ injected plenty of funny into the curriculum.  How else do you explain learning about adverbs from two maggots living inside a dead cat?
