A project-based, personalized writing and grammar curriculum for multi-age homeschool families

 

Same project. Personal for everyone.
A shared cookbook project your children can work on together—while each child receives a version personalized to their writing and grammar skills.
 

You don’t choose levels.
You don’t manage differentiation.
You don’t split kids into “easy” and “advanced” versions.
You simply let your children answer a short set of questions.
From those answers, we place each child along the six strands and build their cookbook accordingly.
 

$45 per child. Family Plan: $89 for up to five children—designed for siblings, friends, or neighbors working together.

 

The real reason a cookbook works 

A cookbook is one of the few real-world formats where language must do something.

 

If language fails:

  • The food turns out wrong

  • The reader gets confused

  • The writer loses trust

  •  

Cookbooks force children to practice:

  • Descriptive language (so a reader can imagine taste, texture, outcome)

  • Persuasion (why should someone choose this recipe?)

  • Commands (clear verbs that tell someone exactly what to do)

  • Sequencing (what comes first, what cannot come later)

  • Structural thinking (what information belongs where)

  • Audience awareness (a beginner cook vs. an experienced one)
     

This is not creative writing for expression.
This is language as infrastructure.
 

If a child can:

  • Describe food clearly

  • Guide someone through a process

  • Anticipate reader confusion

  • Structure instructions that survive real use
     

They are learning how to:

  • Explain ideas

  • Argue persuasively

  • Give directions

  • Design systems

  • Be understood

That’s the future skillset.

 

What This Is 

The Personalized Family Cookbook Project is a secular, project-based writing and grammar Projectbook designed for families with multiple children at different ages or ability levels.
 

All children work on the same cookbook project.
Each child receives an individually generated version of that project.

This is not a one-size-fits-all activity and it is not age-based.

It is a structured writing project that adapts to how each child actually uses language.

 

How Personalization Works
 

Before starting, each child answers a short set of questions.

These questions help us understand two core abilities:
 

1. Grammar:
How precisely can the child modify language to create vivid, clear description?

2. Writing:
How clearly and intentionally can the child guide a reader through an idea or process?
 

From those answers, we personalize the cookbook, meaning we place them at the correct Level 1–8 and use only those activities, across six core strands:
 

Grammar

  • Adjectives

  • Adverbs

  • Structural packaging (from simple lists to parallelism and structural redesign)
     

Writing

  • Organization and sequencing

  • Formatting and features

  • Audience and tone
     

Each child receives a cookbook with their name on it, adjusted across all six areas.

 

What Stays the Same 
 

The project stays the same.
 

Every child:

  • Chooses a theme

  • Writes recipes

  • Practices descriptive language

  • Organizes instructions

  • Designs pages

  • Produces a finished cookbook
     

They can work chapter by chapter, side by side, around the same table.

What changes is the thinking required.



What This Looks Like in Real Life 
 

Two children are writing the same recipe.
 

Child 1 (L1)
The child is asked to add one clear adjective to help the reader imagine the food.
“Warm soup.”
“Soft bread.”
The goal is learning that a single word can change meaning.

 

Child 2 (L5)
Write with Adjective phrases
“the caramel smooth to the touch”“a bowl warm from the oven”

 

Child 3 (L7)

Adjective clauses
“the caramel that thickens as it cools”
“a bowl which retains heat evenly”


Same recipe.
Same conversation.
Different cognitive demand.

This same adjustment happens across organization, formatting, and audience.

 

What Makes This Different 

Most writing curricula:

  • Separate children by age or grade

  • Require parents to manage multiple levels

  • Force families to choose between togetherness and rigor
     

This project separates thinking, not children.

You run one project.
We handle the differentiation.

 

What You Receive

  • One personalized cookbook per child

  • A shared, project-based writing experience

  • Custom adjustment across six grammar and writing strands

  • Delivery within 24 hours

  • Human review and level adjustments if needed
     

The Process 

Here’s exactly what happens after purchase:

Step 1
You receive a short question form for each child.
 

Step 2
Each child answers independently. No coaching. Honest effort matters—this helps us personalize accurately.
 

Step 3
Within 24 hours, our team builds each child’s cookbook and sends it to you.
 

Step 4
Your children work through the same project together, each at the right level.
 

Step 5
If anything feels too easy or too challenging in any of the six areas, you tell us. We adjust.

That’s it.

Final Close 

Your children create something real.
They learn how language works.

One project.
Thoughtfully personalized.
