What is WriteToLearn?
WriteToLearn is an online literacy tool designed to build writing skills, develop reading comprehension, and expand academic word knowledge for students in grades 4-12. This web-based writing evaluation tool provides students the opportunity to practice their writing across subject areas and receive immediate instructional feedback. The researched-based automated scoring assesses student work by evaluating the meaning of text—not just grammar and spelling—allowing students to continue through the write-edit-revise writing cycle.
With WriteToLearn, teachers can assign students more writing practice while reducing time spent on laborious editing and scoring. As a result, they can spend more time on lesson planning and focused, individualized instruction.
