Writing Review

Helps students understand where, how and why their writing needs work to improve.

• Builds metalinguistic awareness by explaining the logic behind corrections, helping students with dyslexia, dysgraphia, or language processing differences understand patterns instead of just accepting edits
• Supports independent revision for students who need more scaffolding than a simple red squiggle provides
• Catches homophone errors that spellcheckers miss, addressing a common pain point for students with auditory processing differences or EAL/multilingual learners
• Helps students internalize grammar rules by connecting corrections to comprehensible explanations

MTSS:

• Tier 1: Universal writing feedback for all students learning to revise independently
• Tier 2/3: Explicit instruction via explainers for students who need more scaffolding to understand grammar and spelling conventions

UDL Principles:

• Multiple means of representation: text explanations alongside flagged errors
• Multiple means of action and expression: reduces cognitive load of decoding feedback, letting students focus on revision decisions

Pairs well with Text Prediction and Dictation for students who need scaffolding across the writing process.
