I just went a workshop about it yesterday and it seems to be more geared to 1st grade and up, but says it could be used in Kindergarten. It uses a lot of graphic organizers to get children to organize their thoughts.

YES! YES! Yes! I wrote about this program last year and got a lot of guff for it but i really like to use it for kindergarten. I use mostly the topic, star idea and explain part for my beginning writers. I actually start out by doing a read aloud and ask what the topic, star idea the author had and then go from there. It has worked very well even with writers workshop.
