Essentials in writing is a home school but public school style writing and grammar programme. I watched the short (less than 5 min) video then we talked and did the workbook together. Because it was so quick it wasn't painful and it helped (I think) him see more structure in writing. He doesn't like creative writing and was getting stuck. I don't know that it was the programme that helped him really but it helped me. It has a a good return policy if you want to look. Also 4 square which is basically a structured graphic organizer might help.
