Classroom Reading & Writing Program

Yes, all writing features are free for classrooms, including the weekly online writing challenge, tutor feedback on your student's work, and weekly printables. You'll start with a 14 day free trial of the full program, and if you don't subscribe your account will transition into the free writing features only account.

Students learn new vocabulary and apply it through interactive spelling, grammar, and sentence-building challenges. They then put those skills to work drafting creative stories, reports, and poems. Real tutor feedback, in-game rewards, and weekly community challenges keep them intrinsically motivated to write and revise.

Everything from creative stories to formal, structured reports. We gradually introduce students to all major writing genres. They might write narrative stories about magical beasts, step-by-step instructions on making hot chocolate, persuasive arguments, newspaper articles, or poetry.
