“I’ve been using The Baran Method to teach my students. A few of them have learning differences, and I’m amazed at how much better every one of my kids' writing is after using the color-coded maps! I love using this method for all types of writing.”

“It was so nice meeting you at the conference! I ordered the workbook, but I couldn’t wait to try your method—so I used one of the example stories (“The Tortoise and the Hare”) from your book with two of my kids. They LOVED it! My goodness, they even THANKED me afterward. They said it was so much fun! Now they’re correcting their grammar mistakes without any complaints! Thank you SO MUCH for the Baran Method!”

“I am a fairly new English Language Arts teacher (it's my second year), and this book has provided me a guideline for teaching writing. Last year, I didn't know where to start with teaching my students how to write a simple paragraph. My students' work was disorganized and it never showed their comprehension of texts. A friend recommended this book to me. I liked that it presented a concrete way for students to access writing skills; it gives steps and examples that teachers and students can use. I feel more comfortable teaching writing now and my students are becoming more comfortable as well ”

“My kids are in sixth grade and eighth grade. We were bogged down in another curriculum that was really confusing, but I was hesitant to try something new. After a few weeks with this method, my kids are excited and I'm ecstatic that they can easily write amazing paragraphs!”
