Clever partners with applications to improve student writing

According to the last report from the National Center for Education Statistics, only 24 percent of “students at both grades 9 and 12 performed at the proficient level in writing.” This leaves the majority of students struggling to meet national benchmarks and college-ready standards.

For writers to improve, experts agree that students need access to quality exemplars, integrated grammar instruction, and continuous feedback and revision. While none of this is news to educators, many still struggle to successfully implement writing instruction without the right training or resources to do so.

To bridge this gap, Clever has partnered with several literacy and writing applications that are actively seeking to improve fluency, style, and conventions in writing. Reference the list below to see if one of these applications can benefit your students today.

NoRedInk builds stronger writers in elementary, middle, and high school through personalized and adaptable curriculum. Their application presents instant feedback to students and provides actionable performance data to teachers. Recently, NoRedInk expanded their assessment offerings so that students can more actively engage in the revision process, including in single sentences and multi-paragraph formats.
