From Greg Baran, creator of The Baran Method:

Many kids don't want to write, but we all know that every child deserves to know how to write.

Our kids have great ideas, yet they struggle with getting their ideas from their heads onto the paper. The Baran Method shows our kids where to write their wonderful ideas on the paper so that they can form an easy-to-follow structure that eliminates the often overwhelming frustration and confusion they experience. Instead of struggling with writing, our kids' confidence grows and they get an easy-to-repeat lifetime method for writing, no matter the subject.

Children love colors, and we use colors to help kids remember where their ideas belong on the paper. In The Baran Method, blue, green, and red makes it really easy for kids to recognize the pattern they will use when they write. In addition, using this structure of blue, green, and red makes teaching writing easy for parents and teachers so we can help our kids learn the pattern for successful lifetime writing.

The process for kids to learn how to become a confident writer couldn't be easier. Do writing exercises 1 - 6 in the handbook to learn the method, and then practice in one of our grade level workbooks. Each workbook is loaded with meaningful and useful readings, lots of interesting photos and artwork that add context, a long list of writing prompts, and fun color-coded activities to enhance reading interest and analytical skills.

Our handbook is chock full of all kinds of good stuff, too: easy-to-understand instructions, easy-to-follow writing exercises, step-by-step writing tools, classroom posters, definitions, prompts, transitions, peer review worksheets, grading worksheets, checklists, and writing samples for elementary, middle and high school. Purchasing the handbook also gives you access to our Online Resources, where you'll find additional help in the form of writing prompts, "How-To" videos, and many more writing examples.

We look forward to helping your child become a successful, happy writer!

"I'm so pleased to have a writing method that my daughter understands and that equips me to teach her."
— Margaret M., Homeschooler

What makes The Baran Method different?

The Baran Method is a revolution for both writing and the art of teaching writing because it demystifies and shows the pattern in successful writing. Effective writing often seems way too difficult for most of us. However, with The Baran Method learning to write clearly becomes understandable to everyone.

Thousands of parents, teachers, and their students have used The Baran Method to become successful teachers and writers.

How can you become part of the writing revolution?

Get The Baran Method and watch how quickly writing becomes simple, easy, and fun for your students and you.

All successful communication can be broken down into three key components: claim, evidence, and analysis. When these components are organized properly, our thinking, our communication, and our writing becomes clear. The Baran Method identifies these components step-by-step and walks you through to mastery of these three very basic elements. You can then easily pass this technique on to your students.

Children have great ideas, but often they are confused and frustrated as to where to put them on the paper. A builder needs a foundation to build a house upon and a writer needs a foundation in order to write clearly. When we understand how a project is put together, we're free to allow our imagination to flow.

Unfortunately, the education system has failed the student and the teacher miserably. That's why I developed The Baran Method—to help students write more clearly. So why be a part of this revolution? Simply put—our children are worth it.

At its heart, homeschooling is about relationships, values, and setting up our kids for long term success. The Baran Method helps parents build better relationships with their children and gives kids the tools to assure long term success. Indeed, the mission of The Baran Method is to support parents through fostering clear communication. When we can communicate clearly, success is close-at-hand. Our kids certainly deserve success and we're happy to support you in helping your child achieve it.

"Who knew teaching writing could be so simple! Greg has a genius for making teaching easy and fun!"
