Quill offers six unique tools to engage students in the classroom: Quill Diagnostic, Quill Connect, Quill Proofreader, Quill Grammar, Quill Lessons, and Quill Reading for Evidence. Each of the six tools serves a distinct purpose in the classroom to target distinct literacy skills. Click below to read more about each learning tool:

The diagnostic helps you find gaps in students' writing skills. Our diagnostics cover vital sentence construction skills and generate personalized learning plans based on your students‘ performances.

Assign one of our Baseline diagnostics to assess 8 - 10 distinct writing skills. The results allow you to check where students stand at the beginning of their Quill journey. Baseline diagnostics cover a range of writing skills - click here for an overview of skills covered in each diagnostic.

After students complete a diagnostic, you can review responses to prompts, individual and class-wide proficiency, and assign follow-up personalized practice packs to your students through our diagnostic reports.

To measure students' growth following the completion of a baseline diagnostic and recommended practice, you can then assign a Growth Diagnostic to measure how much they have improved. Completion of a Growth Diagnostic unlocks access to comparative data reports and even more recommended practice based on skill gaps.

Quill Connect guides students to combine multiple ideas into a single sentence. The prompts and targeted feedback help students advance from writing fragmented and run-on sentences to forming complex, well-structured sentences. Our reports allow you to keep track of students' improvement, response to feedback, concept mastery, and more!

Quill Proofreader teaches students editing skills by having them proofread text passages. Students edit the passages, review the results, and receive a personalized follow-up exercise based on the demonstrated writing gaps.

Quill Grammar has over 200 activities to help your students practice basic grammar skills, from comma placement to parallel structure.

Preview and assign available Quill Grammar activities.

Quill Lessons enables teachers to lead interactive whole-class and small-group writing instruction. Teachers control interactive slides that contain writing prompts, and the entire class joins the lesson to participate in discussions and respond to prompts. Quill Lessons provide a downloadable lesson plan, a full lesson script to guide you through instruction, student writing prompts, discussion topics, and a follow-up independent practice activity.

Provide students with nonfiction texts paired with AI-powered writing prompts, instead of multiple-choice questions, to enable deeper thinking. Students read a nonfiction text and build their comprehension through writing prompts, supporting a series of claims with evidence sourced from the text. Then, students paraphrase and synthesize evidence from the text by completing three sentence stems about a key idea in the text. They complete...

As students write, Quill Evidence uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to provide immediate feedback to guide them through the revision process. This feedback will encourage students to refine their logical reasoning, clarify their ideas, and increase the specificity of their evidence. The feedback will also address their grammar, spelling, and punctuation.

Quill challenges students to write responses that are precise, logical, and based on textual evidence, with Quill coaching the student through custom, targeted feedback on each revision. Access our free reading comprehension resources to learn how to implement this tool in your 8th-12th grade classes. You can also preview and assign Reading for Evidence activities from our activity library and preview packs of activities aligned to the WordGen curriculum.
