“THE easiest writing method on the planet”

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 Baran Method text 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. 

The Baran Method 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!

writing made easy with the baran Method curriculum

Learning to write and teaching writing doesn’t have to be complicated. Effective writing and communication follow a specific pattern. To be successful at writing, you just have to know the pattern. The Baran Method was created for students and teachers. It was developed to demystify writing so our kids can quickly master proper writing structure. In a short time, kids will be able to write clear paragraphs and essays—and if you want to teach, you’ll be able to do so confidently and competently.

You don’t need thick, enormous textbooks on how and what to teach. They have some solid information, but who has the time, patience, or interest to slog through them? This system will empower and increase a child’s confidence. Both you and your student will quickly master just three key elements that are the foundation and building blocks of successful writing and communication: claim, evidence, and analysis.

We use blue, green, and red so our kids can associate more easily with these three fundamental elements of writing. Plus, we teach each child to write in blue, green, and red pens or markers. When they type, they type in the colors as well. This activity takes the struggle out of writing since the colors help kids quickly learn where their ideas go on the paper. When our kids know where to put their great ideas on the paper, writing becomes fun and exciting!

Thousands of students have used this method to become effective writers. The process is simple—learn The Baran Method from the handbook, and then practice in the workbook. To make the process even easier, you can purchase one of our writing courses. Kids can watch the videos, follow along, and then practice in the workbook.

To be clear, we’re not an English Language Arts curriculum; we’re a writing curriculum. Most ELA curriculums do a solid job of teaching writing “mechanics,” but many fall short when it comes to helping our kids get their ideas from the heads onto the paper. Teaching our kids the structure of writing so that their ideas get on the paper in an organized manner (that’s the definition of successful writing) ends the learning-to-write struggle.

There is a difference between a writing curriculum and a Language Arts curriculum. The Baran Method addresses the disconnect between the two. We believe that you can’t teach language arts to kids who hate to write or won’t write. We have found that it is more effective to first help kids get their great ideas on paper and in the process teach language arts.

When you apply our method, each grade-level workbook will provide a year of writing activities. If you have an ELA curriculum you like, use it to teach reading and writing mechanics.

In the end, your child can use The Baran Method to write every writing assignment, and if you wish, you can use this method to teach every writing assignment. In just a short time, your child will become a successful writer and you’ll become an effective writing teacher. That’s a win-win!
