Quill's six tools engage students in learning to write and writing to learn.
These tools include:
Quill Diagnostics assess students' proficiencies in their writing skills. When a student completes a Quill Diagnostic, they generate a learning plan of recommended activities that focus on their performance on the Quill Diagnostic.
Quill Connect is Quill's sentence-combining tool and guides students to combine simple sentences
into a more complex sentence using different writing skills. The prompts and targeted feedback help students
advance from writing fragmented and run-on sentences to forming complex, well-structured sentences.
Quill Grammar helps your students practice basic writing skills, from comma placement to
parallel structure. Students receive immediate targeted feedback for each response that they submit,
which helps them strengthen their writing
Quill Proofreader teaches students editing skills by having them proofread text passages.
After students edit the text passages, Quill provides feedback on the edits that they made.
If students make any incorrect edits, Quill will provide a follow-up activity so that they may practice
the writing skills with which they are not yet proficient.
Quill Lessons is our tool for interactive whole-class or small-group writing instruction.
During Quill Lessons, teachers guide students through interactive slides that contain writing prompts,
and students respond to the writing prompts and participate in discussions about the writing prompts.
Quill Lessons include a downloadable Quill Lesson plan, a full Quill Lesson script, writing prompts,
discussion topics, and a follow-up independent-practice activity.
Quill Reading for Evidence builds content knowledge and writing skills concurrently.
During Reading for Evidence activities, students read nonfiction texts. Then, students paraphrase and synthesize
evidence from the text to complete three sentence stems about a key idea in the text.
