“Students don’t just see the answer—they see the thinking.”
— The Baran Method
Second and Third Grade Paragraph Writing Course
It’s the closest thing to having a personal writing teacher.
In each video lesson, Greg walks students step-by-step through the full writing process.
Students learn how to:
read a story, article, or argument
identify the theme or main idea
form an opinion and support it
turn ideas into a clear paragraph, sentence by sentence
Students don’t just see the final product—they see the thinking behind it.
They learn exactly how strong writing is built.
Benefits of the course:
See the process step-by-step — Students learn how to think, plan, and write—not just what the final paragraph looks like.
Build confidence through clarity — a simple, repeatable framework removes guesswork and frustration from writing.
Strengthen real academic writing skills — Students learn to organize ideas, use evidence, and explain their thinking clearly.
Support for independent writing with guided video instruction for students and built-in support for parents and teachers through the textbook, workbook, and teacher edition.
