Our 2020-21 Writing Curriculum for Middle and High School

A flexible, seven-unit program based on the real-world writing found in newspapers, from editorials and reviews to personal narratives and informational essays.

Update, Aug. 3, 2023: Find our 2023-24 writing curriculum here.

Our 2019-20 Writing Curriculum is one of the most popular new features we’ve ever run on this site, so, of course, we’re back with a 2020-21 version — one we hope is useful whether you’re teaching in person , online , indoors , outdoors , in a pod , as a homeschool , or in some hybrid of a few of these.

The curriculum detailed below is both a road map for teachers and an invitation to students. For teachers, it includes our writing prompts, mentor texts, contests and lesson plans, and organizes them all into seven distinct units. Each focuses on a different genre of writing that you can find not just in The Times but also in all kinds of real-world sources both in print and online.

But for students, our main goal is to show young people they have something valuable to say, and to give those voices a global audience. That’s always been a pillar of our site, but this year it is even more critical. The events of 2020 will define this generation, and many are living through them isolated from their ordinary communities, rituals and supports. Though a writing curriculum can hardly make up for that, we hope that it can at least offer teenagers a creative outlet for making sense of their experiences, and an enthusiastic audience for the results. Through the opportunities for publication woven throughout each unit, we want to encourage students to go beyond simply being media consumers to become creators and contributors themselves.

So have a look, and see if you can find a way to include any of these opportunities in your curriculum this year, whether to help students document their lives, tell stories, express opinions, investigate ideas, or analyze culture. We can’t wait to hear what your students have to say!

Each unit includes:

Writing prompts to help students try out related skills in a “low stakes” way.

We publish two writing prompts every school day, and we also have thematic collections of more than 1,000 prompts published in the past. Your students might consider responding to these prompts on our site and using our public forums as a kind of “rehearsal space” for practicing voice and technique.

Daily opportunities to practice writing for an authentic audience.

If a student submits a comment on our site, it will be read by Times editors, who approve each one before it gets published. Submitting a comment also gives students an audience of fellow teenagers from around the world who might read and respond to their work. Each week, we call out our favorite comments and honor dozens of students by name in our Thursday “ Current Events Conversation ” feature.

Guided practice with mentor texts .

Each unit we publish features guided practice lessons, written directly to students, that help them observe, understand and practice the kinds of “craft moves” that make different genres of writing sing. From how to “show not tell” in narratives to how to express critical opinions , quote or paraphrase experts or craft scripts for podcasts , we have used the work of both Times journalists and the teenage winners of our contests to show students techniques they can emulate.

“Annotated by the Author” commentaries from Times writers — and teenagers.

As part of our Mentor Texts series , we’ve been asking Times journalists from desks across the newsroom to annotate their articles to let students in on their writing, research and editing processes, and we’ll be adding more for each unit this year. Whether it’s Science writer Nicholas St. Fleur on tiny tyrannosaurs , Opinion writer Aisha Harris on the cultural canon , or The Times’s comics-industry reporter, George Gene Gustines, on comic books that celebrate pride , the idea is to demystify journalism for teenagers. This year, we’ll be inviting student winners of our contests to annotate their work as well.

A contest that can act as a culminating project .

Over the years we’ve heard from many teachers that our contests serve as final projects in their classes, and this curriculum came about in large part because we want to help teachers “plan backwards” to support those projects.

All contest entries are considered by experts, whether Times journalists, outside educators from partner organizations, or professional practitioners in a related field. Winning means being published on our site, and, perhaps, in the print edition of The New York Times.

Webinars and our new professional learning community (P.L.C.).

For each of the seven units in this curriculum, we host a webinar featuring Learning Network editors as well as teachers who use The Times in their classrooms. Our webinars introduce participants to our many resources and provide practical how-to’s on how to use our prompts, mentor texts and contests in the classroom.

New for this school year, we also invite teachers to join our P.L.C. on teaching writing with The Times , where educators can share resources, strategies and inspiration about teaching with these units.

Below are the seven units we will offer in the 2020-21 school year.

September-October

Unit 1: Documenting Teenage Lives in Extraordinary Times

This special unit acknowledges both the tumultuous events of 2020 and their outsized impact on young people — and invites teenagers to respond creatively. How can they add their voices to our understanding of what this historic year will mean for their generation?

Culminating in our Coming of Age in 2020 contest, the unit helps teenagers document and respond to what it’s been like to live through what one Times article describes as “a year of tragedy, of catastrophe, of upheaval, a year that has inflicted one blow after another, a year that has filled the morgues, emptied the schools, shuttered the workplaces, swelled the unemployment lines and polarized the electorate.”

A series of writing prompts, mentor texts and a step-by-step guide will help them think deeply and analytically about who they are, how this year has impacted them, what they’d like to express as a result, and how they’d like to express it. How might they tell their unique stories in ways that feel meaningful and authentic, whether those stories are serious or funny, big or small, raw or polished?

Though the contest accepts work across genres — via words and images, video and audio — all students will also craft written artist’s statements for each piece they submit. In addition, no matter what genre of work students send in, the unit will use writing as a tool throughout to help students brainstorm, compose and edit. And, of course, this work, whether students send it to us or not, is valuable far beyond the classroom: Historians, archivists and museums recommend that we all document our experiences this year, if only for ourselves.

October-November

Unit 2: The Personal Narrative

While The Times is known for its award-winning journalism, the paper also has a robust tradition of publishing personal essays on topics like love , family , life on campus and navigating anxiety . And on our site, our daily writing prompts have long invited students to tell us their stories, too. Our 2019 collection of 550 Prompts for Narrative and Personal Writing is a good place to start, though we add more every week during the school year.

In this unit we draw on many of these resources, plus some of the 1,000-plus personal essays from the Magazine’s long-running Lives column , to help students find their own “short, memorable stories ” and tell them well. Our related mentor-text lessons can help them practice skills like writing with voice , using details to show rather than tell , structuring a narrative arc , dropping the reader into a scene and more. This year, we’ll also be including mentor text guided lessons that use the work of the 2019 student winners.

As a final project, we invite students to send finished stories to our Second Annual Personal Narrative Writing Contest .

DECEMBER-January

Unit 3: The Review

Book reports and literary essays have long been staples of language arts classrooms, but this unit encourages students to learn how to critique art in other genres as well. As we point out, a cultural review is, of course, a form of argumentative essay. Your class might be writing about Lizzo or “ Looking for Alaska ,” but they still have to make claims and support them with evidence. And, just as they must in a literature essay, they have to read (or watch, or listen to) a work closely; analyze it and understand its context; and explain what is meaningful and interesting about it.

In our Mentor Texts series , we feature the work of Times movie , restaurant , book and music critics to help students understand the elements of a successful review. In each one of these guided lessons, we also spotlight the work of teenage contest winners from previous years.

As a culminating project, we invite students to send us their own reviews of a book, movie, restaurant, album, theatrical production, video game, dance performance, TV show, art exhibition or any other kind of work The Times critiques.

January-February

Unit 4: Informational Writing

Informational writing is the style of writing that dominates The New York Times as well as any other traditional newspaper you might read, and in this unit we hope to show students that it can be every bit as engaging and compelling to read and to write as other genres. Via thousands of articles a month — from front-page reporting on politics to news about athletes in Sports, deep data dives in The Upshot, recipes in Cooking, advice columns in Style and long-form investigative pieces in the magazine — Times journalists find ways to experiment with the genre to intrigue and inform their audiences.

This unit invites students to take any STEM-related discovery, process or idea that interests them and write about it in a way that makes it understandable and engaging for a general audience — but all the skills we teach along the way can work for any kind of informational writing. Via our Mentor Texts series, we show them how to hook the reader from the start , use quotes and research , explain why a topic matters and more. This year we’ll be using the work of the 2020 student winners for additional mentor text lessons.

At the end of the unit, we invite teenagers to submit their own writing to our Second Annual STEM writing contest to show us what they’ve learned.

March-April

Unit 5: Argumentative Writing

The demand for evidence-based argumentative writing is now woven into school assignments across the curriculum and grade levels, and you couldn’t ask for better real-world examples than what you can find in The Times Opinion section .

This unit will, like our others, be supported with writing prompts, mentor-text lesson plans, webinars and more. We’ll also focus on the winning teenage writing we’ve received over the six years we’ve run our related contest.

At a time when media literacy is more important than ever, we also hope that our annual Student Editorial Contest can serve as a final project that encourages students to broaden their information diets with a range of reliable sources, and learn from a variety of perspectives on their chosen issue.

To help students working from home, we also have an Argumentative Unit for Students Doing Remote Learning .

Unit 6: Writing for Podcasts

Most of our writing units so far have all asked for essays of one kind or another, but this spring contest invites students to do what journalists at The Times do every day: make multimedia to tell a story, investigate an issue or communicate a concept.

Our annual podcast contest gives students the freedom to talk about anything they want in any form they like. In the past we’ve had winners who’ve done personal narratives, local travelogues, opinion pieces, interviews with community members, local investigative journalism and descriptions of scientific discoveries.

As with all our other units, we have supported this contest with great examples from The Times and around the web, as well as with mentor texts by teenagers that offer guided practice in understanding elements and techniques.

June-August

Unit 7: Independent Reading and Writing

At a time when teachers are looking for ways to offer students more “voice and choice,” this unit, based on our annual summer contest, offers both.

Every year since 2010 we have invited teenagers around the world to add The New York Times to their summer reading lists and, so far, 70,000 have. Every week for 10 weeks, we ask participants to choose something in The Times that has sparked their interest, then tell us why. At the end of the week, judges from the Times newsroom pick favorite responses, and we publish them on our site.

And we’ve used our Mentor Text feature to spotlight the work of past winners , explain why newsroom judges admired their thinking, and provide four steps to helping any student write better reader-responses.

Because this is our most open-ended contest — students can choose whatever they like, and react however they like — it has proved over the years to be a useful place for young writers to hone their voices, practice skills and take risks . Join us!

The Online High School Writing Course You Don’t Want to Miss

Share this post!

Transitioning to online courses in the high school years can be a big leap for both homeschool students and their parents. We want to give them the highest quality education possible but we also want to maintain some aspects of the role we’ve played in their education through the younger years. This honors-level online high school writing course from Mr. D Math allows us to do both.

I received access to Mr. D Math’s Advanced Writing course for review purposes and I was compensated for my time. All opinions are my own and I am not required to post a positive review. 

Note: this post was originally published March 12, 2020. It was updated on March 10, 2021 for clarity.

The Challenge of Taking Online Courses in the High School Years

In our home province, there are several different enrollment options available for home learners, but not all of them lead to a Certificate of High School Graduation. Although parents are free to educate their children in any way they choose from kindergarten to 9th grade, the requirements for high school are much more stringent.

Because of this, most of our homeschool families choose the “Distributed Learning” route for 10th, 11th, and 12th grade.

Distributed learning can take many forms, but in general, it involves a lot of online courses in the high school years. For parents who’ve spent up to ten years playing a leading role in their child’s education, giving up the reins and enrolling them in a full suite of online courses can be scary.

It’s so much more than just about researching good laptops for homeschooling and setting kids up with their own email addresses. ( Why on earth can’t it be that easy? ) Instead, it involves a major shift in the way you think about homeschooling.

I attended a seminar a few years ago about preparing for college and homeschooling through the high school years.

Although the majority of the parents in attendance were keen to have their children graduate with certificates—to increase their chances of getting into university—they were hesitant to make the switch to online classes after middle school.

Making the shift from primary educator in your home to “backseat driver” is a big leap and I think we were all eager to find creative ways to play a continued role in our children’s learning.

As my eldest daughter—an aspiring novelist—sprints relentlessly towards 9th grade, I find myself caught in this same conundrum: how do I best help her prepare for the future while maintaining the dynamic we’ve worked so hard to create in our family?

How do I ensure she receives the best education available to her, particularly in subject areas in which I’m less fluent?

How can I give her the support she needs while also encouraging her to grow in her independence and develop the study skills she will need to succeed in school, college, and her future career?

It is with these questions in mind that I assess every online course we consider.

An Online High School Writing Course that Fits the Bill

Because of these concerns, I’m particularly excited about Mr. D Math’s online writing course for high school students: Advanced Writing .

This honors-level writing class offers my daughter everything she needs in a homeschool writing curriculum while also allowing me to retain my role in her education.

Now, I absolutely love Mr. D’s classes in general and have yet to be disappointed with any of them, but I was a little skeptical about this one at first. I mean, Mr. D is a math genius…surely he wasn’t also endeavoring to teach writing to high school students? That would be a bit much!

So, I was relieved to find out that he’s actually offering his self-paced online writing class through a partnership with Jenni Stahlmann and Jody Hagaman of From Cradle to Calling, an educational organization that helps students discover their interests, develop their passions, and create strategies for future success.

These two women have successfully homeschooled over ten children between them and they know what they’re talking about when it comes to writing skills and study strategies. I’m thrilled to consider them as partners in the mission of educating my budding writers.

What I love about Mr. D Math’s Advanced Writing Class

With four kids at home—one of whom is a busy toddler who requires near-constant supervision—I don’t have nearly as much time as I’d like to sit with my older kids and teaching writing or any other subjects. I have to rely on online writing courses and other resources if they’re going to learn to write well.

The Advanced Writing Course developed by Jody and Jenni is rigorous and thorough. Over the course of a year, they help students develop advanced academic and creative writing skills to the point where they’re writing at a college level.

Through a varied series of assignments, students develop their observation skills and descriptive techniques, learn basic story elements and narrative skills, and hone their ability to plan, write and receive research papers using MLA format. (For a more detailed course outline, scroll down).

Not only that, but they really work on developing organizational habits and study skills in students. Several videos at the beginning of the course walk students through setting up their binders, organizing their notes, homework and assignments, and managing their schedule to make time for everything they’re trying to do.

But what I really love is that I still get to stay involved with my students by grading their papers using rubrics provided by the instructors. Each week, the students complete different types of fiction writing assignments and/or essays of various types.

They hand these into their parent or whoever is guiding them through the course for marking. The course instructors have provided specific rubrics for each type of writing assignment.

These detailed marking guides include categories such as formatting, content, plot development, character development, and creativity and use a four-point scale to help parents determine an objective grade for their students.

It’s a win-win: my kids get an excellent writing program that will earn them credits toward their graduation certificate and I get to monitor their progress, talk to them about what they’re writing and learning, and maintain some role in their language arts education .

Topics Covered in Mr. D Math’s Advanced Writing Program

There are five components to the advanced online high school writing course offered by Mr. D Math:

• English Grammar (Weeks 1 – 27)
• Creative Writing (Weeks 1 – 16)
• Essay writing (Weeks 16 – 34)
• Writing a Research Paper (Weeks 15 – 33)
• Vocabulary Building (Weeks 1 – 31)

For each new lesson, students watch a video and follow along with a written lesson plan. The lesson plan doesn’t cover everything taught in the video, so it’s important that students use both resources.

Here is a list of topics covered:

• Prepositions and conjunctions
• History of the novel
• Story elements
• Sentence structure
• Viewpoint and narration
• Character development
• Show don’t tell/imagery
• Hooks, focus, and pacing
• Subtlety and hyperbole
• Comparisons and contrasts
• Irony and satire
• Essay types
• MLA Documentation
• Organizing research
• Capitalization and punctuation
• Writing a thesis statement
• Writing an outline
• Connecting research to an outline
• Character analysis
• Writing an abstract and methodology
• Historical criticism
• Advanced editing and proofreading
• Finding critical readers
• Writing a college essay
• Tips on the college admission process
• Timed essays

As you can see, this is one of the more comprehensive online writing programs for high schoolers and covers all aspects of the writing process for many types of writing, including both fiction and nonfiction.

Other Benefits of Mr. D Math’s Online High School Writing Course

One of my favorite things about Mr. D’s online classes is that there are real people behind each course, cheering your children on and rooting for their success.

This translates into an exceptionally high level of customer service, and this seems to be the case for the writing classes taught by Jenni and Jody as well.

Students are invited to email them about anything in the course at any time and the instructors will email back within 24-hours to offer their assistance.

The videos are also well made and go into great detail about everything the student needs to know to succeed, both within this writing course and beyond, as a college-ready writer.

I particularly love the first few videos where they explain how to organize yourself academically and personally. This is an area where my kids often struggle (which is odd, given my obsession with organization and scheduling!)

But I feel like the way these instructors explain it just makes sense for high school students and will hopefully cultivate great habits that they’ll maintain throughout life.

Finally, I love how Mr. D stands firmly behind his online courses for homeschoolers, offering a 30-day money-back guarantee in case it turns out that the class you choose is not the right fit. I feel like he’s truly dedicated to student success more than he is to his own.

I now have both my 11 and my 12-year-old begging to take this advanced writing course. I’m not sure they’re quite ready yet, but how does one quelch that enthusiasm?

Most likely I’ll be sitting there beside them, taking the course over their shoulders, hoping to pick up anything I might have slept through in my high school English course!

Iowa Young Writers' Studio

6-Week Online Courses

The Iowa Young Writers' Studio offers 6-week online creative writing courses for high school students twice every year! We offer the online courses for 6 weeks every winter, mid-January through late February, and every summer, late June through early August. We do not offer online courses in the fall. We accept applications in September and October for winter courses and in March and April for summer courses (check this page for updated information). We accept applications from students in the United States and welcome applications from abroad. We accept applications from 9th, 10th, 11th and 12th graders.  Students must be able to read and write in English. The online courses run independently of the Summer Residential Program, and though they're intended for students with a passionate interest in writing, admissions decisions for these courses are based less on writing ability than on enthusiasm and commitment to learning.

This summer, 2024, we will offer three 6-week online courses (see descriptions below). These courses will run from Sunday, June 16th through Sunday, July 28th.  All courses will be taught by graduates of the Iowa Writers' Workshop. The online courses will require approximately 3-4 hours of engagement per week, which will include writing assignments, reading assigned materials, critiquing classmates’ writing, and participating in online discussions.

These online courses are asynchronous, meaning that students can complete the assignments and post in the discussion forums on their own schedules in their free time. There will not be any live class sessions . It is important to note that even though students will be able to do the assignments on their own schedules, at any hour of the day or night, they will have to meet weekly deadlines. 

Please note that we do not offer these courses for college credit. Students who complete the course with a passing grade will receive a Letter of Completion from the Iowa Young Writers' Studio. Students will also be able to download a pdf of their final letter grade at the end of the course.

Summer 2024 Online Courses

Writing From Everyday Life: Nonfiction and Personal Essays.  Nonfiction Writing (accepting applications from March 1st 1 a.m. CST until April 21st at 11:59 p.m. CST)

Instructor: Wyatt Williams

In Writing From Everyday Life: Nonfiction and Personal Essays , we’ll learn about the many ways that writers gather material from the world around them and their everyday lives. How did George Orwell transform a job washing dishes into his first book? Why does the act of closely listening to music allow the poet and essayist Hanif Abdurraqib to see the world more clearly? When Michelle Zauner shops for groceries, what does she learn about life? We will learn to harness our personal interests along with the materials around us as we generate, discuss, and workshop nonfiction writing. In the end, we'll learn basic concepts and techniques of nonfiction craft and emerge with some fresh, exciting personal essays inspired by our everyday lives. (Students will be required to complete weekly assignments and participate regularly in group discussions.)

Sense of Witness: Poetry and Perception . Poetry Writing (accepting applications from March 1st 1 a.m. CST until April 21st at 11:59 p.m. CST)

Instructor: Danielle Wheeler

Sense of Witness: Poetry and Perception  is an online poetry writing class for high school students.  This course takes inspiration from the poet Muriel Rukeyser, who preferred to call her readers “witnesses” because it was more active: [it] “includes the act of seeing or knowing by experience.” In this six-week course, we’ll be witnesses: to each others writing, to the poems of poets like Rukeyser, Bei Dao, and Audre Lorde, to what is happening around us… and to our inner selves. We’ll ask ourselves: how does one witness the self? How have poets, historically, witnessed themselves and the world in their work? How do we witness what is happening the world? And how does this all influence our writing? Along the way, we’ll experiment with style, form, inspiration, and voice, and you’ll produce work that will be workshopped and considered by your instructor and your classmates. You'll learn basic concepts and techniques of poetic craft and emerge with some fresh writing and some workshopped pieces. No prior poetry writing experience is required, though it certainly can’t hurt. Come with a willingness to read, write, and thoughtfully consider the work of others. (Students will be required to complete weekly assignments and participate regularly in group discussions.)    

A Perusable Feast. Creative Writing (accepting applications from March 1st 1 a.m. CST until April 21st at 11:59 p.m. CST)

Instructor: TBA

A Perusable Feast is an online creative writing class for high school students . A Perusable Feast is a genre-mashing, experimental writing course aimed at helping you ask yourself the questions: What sort of writer am I? What sort of reading inspires me? and, What are my artistic sensibilities, anyway? In it, you will test the boundaries between fiction, poetry, nonfiction, drama, journalism, and various other sorts of creative writing which, taken together, constitute a vast and intricate wonder-scape just waiting to be explored. John Crowley, in his novel Little Big , envisions a series of nested imaginative realms, each bigger than the one that contains it. In exploring the realms of the written word, we will take Crowley's model as our own; the farther in you go, the bigger it gets! We will find out how, by working through the nuts and bolts of specific challenges in various kinds of writing, we can gain access to larger ideas about writing in general, ideas that transcend distinctions of "genre" and allow us to make use of our words as tools for thinking, for seeing the world. We will put these tools to use in short, guided writing exercises, which we will discuss, along with published works by established authors, in a conversational online setting. Think of this course as a six-week literary potluck. You are the cook and the banqueter. On both accounts, welcome, and enjoy! (Students will be required to complete weekly assignments and participate regularly in group discussions.)

Forget Ready, Forget Set, Go!  Fiction writing (accepting applications from March 1st 1 a.m. CST until April 21st at 11:59 p.m. CST)

Forget Ready, Forget Set, Go!  is an online fiction writing class for high school students. Over the course of six weeks, you'll learn about key aspects of fiction writing such as detail and image; voice and point of view; character, story, and plot; setting; and drafting and revision. You'll do this through a process of creative collaboration (or perhaps collaborative creativity)—each week, you'll read a short piece by one of your classmates and use it as a springboard for your own writing exercises, while simultaneously using your own writing as a tool for working through and appreciating that of your classmates. You’ll also read and respond to published short stories by exciting contemporary writers. The course takes a playful, generative, process-oriented approach to writing. This means you’ll be doing lots and lots of writing, and that, when you read, you’ll be reading as writers —teasing out what makes great stories work. (Students will be required to complete weekly assignments and participate regularly in group discussions.)

If your application is accepted but the section of the course you applied for has filled, you may be offered a section with a different (but equally awesome!) instructor.

Student testimonials.

It was so fantastic working with other serious writers and getting their input. I have taken part in other writer critique groups, but I felt that the difference here is that everyone who came in is really serious about the craft.

I managed to revise and rewrite the first half of my novel during this course, and I have a plan for how to tackle the rest.

The ultimate success for me was that my husband could see a lot of improvement between the writing he saw in week 1 vs in week 10. Feeling inspired and empowered from this course!

This was my first course with Writers.com, and my first course in this global format (we had members from London, Australia, Denmark, and the US). It worked very well.

The course content was thoughtful, informative, and well-organized. The instructor was supportive and encouraging to all, and matched her level of critique to the level of the participant. I felt we were in the hands of a master and mentor, and it was a privilege to have her undivided attention eight times in two months.

-Fred Lindgren

Writers.com classes provide a great way to sharpen your writing skills and join a community of writers. Try a few- you won't be disappointed.

Arnold doyle – telling truth.

Ollie was very encouraging and supportive; they not only knew their stuff, but shared feedback in a non-critical manner. This course provided an intimate and challenging opportunity for me to learn about various poetry forms/styles, as well as the experience of writing and sharing unedited, first-draft poems based on prompts provided by the instructor. It forced me to work outside my comfort zone, and that was a benefit in and of itself, outside of the class material.

Nancy LaChance – Telling Truth

Ollie was a wonderful teacher. I think it was through their feedback that I gained the best understanding of how working in this kind of format can truly revolutionize your writing.

Techwashed – Aravinda Garimella

If you are a writer interested in the pervasive effects of tech on society, this course is a must-take. Shankar creates an inspiring space for creativity, critical thinking, collaboration and celebration of each other’s work. I found the generative prompts in this class inspiring. The students in this class were truly amazing people and the course has opened up a whole world of possibilities for my creative writing. Shankar is also extremely generous with resources, so you are learning for long after the class is over

Lori Posdal – Scene Study

Susan is a gifted teacher. She created an atmosphere of safety to express ourselves. Use of strongly written scenes along with lecture on technique was very helpful as a set up for our assignments. I especially enjoyed the break out sessions in class which allowed for time to meet classmates more intimately. I learned quite a bit!

Maria Warner – Scene Study

This class was great. Susan went above and beyond what I expected. Her feedback and workshopping with the other students was extremely helpful. Susan is a gem!

Chris Peterson – Scene Study

Susan Pohlman is very encouraging and her critiques of our work (not just suggestions but reasons for them) were most helpful. She’s warm, welcoming and obviously very knowledgeable and experienced in the writing field, as well as very talented. Her enthusiasm and love of sharing that knowledge is palpable and encouraging in itself.

Anne Samulevicius – Ordinary to Extraordinary

Excellent. Tina gave consistently thoughtful feedback – on various aspects of the poems, from structure to tempo to content – and was able to meet each writer where they are which is crucial, I feel. As a beginner I felt encouraged but also nudged to consider things I hadn’t before.

Joe Medeiros – The Joy of Poetry

Joy is a tremendous teacher and an enthusiastic person who has made me want to write at a time of my life when I wanted to be as far from pen and paper as possible. Her enthusiasm and love of poetry is truly infectious. She challenged us to write on the spot with no pressure or judgement. The way she analyzed poetry made it understandable and accessible. Without a doubt one of the best writing teachers I’ve ever had because she made me want to write.

Amplify Literacy Skills!

Strong pedagogy is the difference.

Literacy Chops utilizes effective teaching methods, draws from research on adolescent literacy, and incorporates classroom best practices to provide exceptional reading experiences that elevate the quality of teaching and learning. Through a focused, skill-oriented pedagogical approach, students can cultivate essential reading, speaking, and writing skills crucial for success in both academic and real-world contexts. Our established pedagogical methods play a pivotal role in fostering a supportive literacy culture, instilling confidence, and sparking enthusiasm in students.

Get More Instructional Time

Evaluate students in real-time as they engage in practice, eliminating the need for lengthy, multi-day exams. This approach ensures that instructional time is maximized, allowing students to continuously learn and progress.

Keep Minds On

Keep students' minds actively involved. In the event of an incorrect answer, students can delve into understanding their mistake, enabling them to learn from errors and make corrections—an approach that aligns with the natural inclination of the brain.

Build Confidence

Explicitly teach skills and students will feel more capable and intelligent as they read and write. Our platform operates on a foundation of respect, recognizing the innate intelligence of students and their ability to tackle challenging tasks.

Develop Skills that Transfer

Teach essential reading and writing skills, along with academic routines, that extend to various academic tasks and subjects. The literacy skills we teach help students become independent and strategic readers and writers.

Read and Write Authentically

At the core of our approach is the creation of genuine reading and writing experiences that mimic effective classroom instruction and lesson design. Students are asked to think and they love it.

Have Fun and Enjoy Literacy

Cultivate a dynamic learning environment through collaborative routines, high expectations, and compelling content. The result is a fun atmosphere characterized by curiosity, critical thinking, and happiness.

Engagement is higher with Literacy Chops!

Student-Centered Reading Lessons

Students actively participate in adaptive reading lessons, known as Quests, 2-3 times a week.

• Demonstrate real reading knowledge by identifying text-evidence, enhancing critical thinking and analytical reading skills.
• Empower students with reader-like questioning, improving comprehension and fostering analytical, thoughtful reading.
• Teach skills explicitly, with hands-on practice using authentic texts for a practical learning experience.
• Increase text-dependent writing opportunities each week, reinforcing understanding through written expression.

Teacher-Driven Reading Lessons

Classroom teachers can select from a library of reading lessons to:

• Explicitly teach reading and writing skills.
• Facilitate small group reading instruction.
• Deepen understanding of critical content.
• Engage students in authentic conversations about text.

Reading Assessments

Diagnostic Reading Assessment

Diagnostic reading scores are released at the end of Season 1 (or once 12 Quests have been completed). The result: continuous learning, no time wasted, and valuable reading data for educators!

Growth  Reading Assessments

Growth assessments track students' progress with two assessments per season, providing valuable formative insights throughout the year.

Mastery Reading Assessments

Each Season concludes with a Mastery skills report that shows growth between Seasons. On average, students grow 0.38 grade levels per Season. Students can take up to eight Seasons per year.

Write More with Instant Feedback

Quindew's Ink Universe delivers a dynamic writing experience where students are coached how to strengthen their writing during each step in our research-based writing process. 

Ink teaches students how to proofread their writing and identify grammatical mistakes  before submitting their final draft.

On turn in, students receive instant feedback, rubric scores, and writing lessons that help students grow as writers while enhancing writing instruction.

Common Writing Assessments

We simplify common writing assessments, making them more accessible, and deliver powerful data to inform instruction!

Real-Time Data

With our AI language model, we deliver timely feedback on students' writing skills. This immediate feedback is more effective in helping students grow as writers.

Track Progress

We ensure educators can track individual student progress over time so that teachers can facilitate targeted interventions and personalized instruction.

Feedback & Goals

Our personalized feedback engages students in higher-level thinking as they evaluate their strengths and work toward achieving specific writing goals.

Targeted Instruction

With our Insight Data, teachers can easily analyze results, identify gaps, review student goals and clearly understand where to go with writing instruction.

Equity and Fairness

Our process mitigates potential bias and subjectivity, allowing for more equitable evaluations and reducing disparities among students.

Teachers as Coaches

When teachers have access to authentic writing data, they can spend more time coaching and developing powerful writing lessons and less time evaluating!

EdTech Digest Awards Best Literacy Solution!

All students should be doing Literacy Chops. The students at my high school need explicit literacy instruction. Literacy Chops is the whole package. You get engaging online practice that students like to do. You get reading lessons and curriculum. And teachers can respond to their reading data with a dynamic set of literacy curriculum. Thank you for creating this!  -  Susan, GA

Literacy Chops closes the opportunity gap 

Students need weekly reading and writing practice. They must learn how to read in different disciplines and attack texts in different ways. Text and task complexity gets harder with each and every year of high school. College writing tasks with text-analysis is even more challenging. It's not enough to assign tasks associated with reading. Students need to read with purpose and master essential reading and writing skills so they can begin to use them independently. Literacy Chops delivers these critical skills directly to your students.

Lift all students up!

Scholarship applications are only available until the end of February, so interested students should apply ASAP. 

Summer programs—and other extracurricular activities—can help set you apart, particularly at highly selective schools. CollegeVine’s free admissions calculator can tell you how colleges value your extracurricular activities and uses factors like grades and test scores (along with extracurriculars) to estimate your odds of acceptance at hundreds of schools across the country. It even provides insight into how you can improve your profile!

Though summer break provides you with the most time to explore your passions, it is not the only time. Colleges want to see that you are curious about the world around you and are constantly seeking new learning opportunities. 

Instead of participating in a program, you could create your own. Writing a book or mobilizing a team to solve an issue in your local community are examples of independent efforts that look impressive to colleges. 

You can show further initiative by taking on internships and paying jobs. Both demonstrate initiative, a career direction, and key life skills like time management and responsibility. Since most internships are reserved for college students and graduates, it can be a challenge to find opportunities for high school students. To help with the search, here is a list of summer internships for high school students. Looking for more summer programs? Take a look at this list of virtual opportunities for high school students.

I have kids using level 3 and level 6 writing and both are loving it, which makes me love it too.

I just have to say, this program has been life changing for my older son with dysgraphia and other struggles. He actually was saying at dinner last night he LIKED writing and wanted to use EIW again! Huge win!

We absolutely love this curriculum! I was so nervous tackling this with my 6th grade daughter and this helped her push start her writing and she TOOK OFF! Highly recommend. I cannot wait to use it for my other kids.

This is our first year using this program and so far, my reluctant writer has been doing well! There has been a lot less frustration on both ends and I can already see an improvement in his writing. Thanks so much!

Six Online Writing Classes Homeschoolers Can Start Now

Editor’s note: Since this article was originally published, I’ve made changes over time because some of the original resources no longer exist. 

As many homeschooling parents know, writing can be a difficult subject to teach. Even if your student understands grammar and can write well, many children simply do not like writing, resulting in poor content and a lot of complaining. It can be hard to teach writing if your student does not like it, or if you do not enjoy the subject either, for that matter.

Grammar is a tedious but important subject. Why not hand over some of the responsibility to an online classroom where your students can engage in grammar and writing assignments and even take quizzes?

You can rest assured knowing they are learning grammar rules correctly. They might be more motivated when they have to turn in assignments to someone other than their parent.

While this is not a replacement for your teaching, it is a great supplement. Of course, checking their homework and adding any additional writing work you feel necessary is still required.

At Grammarly, where I work, we grammar-check hundreds of documents of all types. I often look at online writing classes to see how they’re teaching. This helps me see how people best learn English so I can improve our product strategy.

I often see writing classes for homeschoolers that impress me. Here are some of the best I’ve come across:

Institute for Excellence in Writing

IEW is known for its robust writing curriculum. Many homeschooling families have used their textbooks and home videos to teach writing, grammar, structure, and style. Their online classes are taught by master teachers and are perfect for busy homeschooling families or parents who aren’t as confident teaching writing.

English Grammar 101

English Grammar 101 provides free online grammar lessons, with a special program tailored to homeschoolers. As the website says, “writing and grammar skills are essential in any line of work, at any age,” so help your students get started with the free lessons on English Grammar 101. For further instruction, the website offers teaching materials and an e-book.

Time 4 Learning

Time 4 Writing is a good source for busy homeschool parents. It has a variety of lessons, from beginning grammar to essay writing, and tailors to each grade. If you’re teaching students of multiple ages, this is a nice way to give each student the information and work he or she needs, so you have time to focus on answering questions and helping with homework.

Home 2 Teach

Home 2 Teach offers college-prep writing classes for students aged 8-18. Sessions are six weeks and offered four times per year. It is exclusively for homeschoolers, and students must submit a writing sample for placement. These courses are a great way to give your advanced writing student an edge.

San Diego Scribblers

San Diego Scribblers offers online classes for different age groups. These classes are not comprehensive but based on a theme. For grades four through eight, there is a short story writing class, and high school students can take a journalism class. The online courses do not teach grammar but are a fun addition to your writing curriculum. Assignments are given each week and teachers provide detailed critiques of each student’s work.

Harvard Extension School

Harvard Extension School is exactly what it sounds like—an extension of the Ivy League university. While this option is only for older students, it is a vigorous program that will set your child apart. Homeschool students can earn credits that will count toward high school graduation or an undergraduate degree. An online writing center is included, where students can attend virtual writing seminars and workshops.

Nikolas Baron discovered his love for the written word in Elementary School, where he started spending his afternoons sprawled across the living room floor devouring one Marc Brown children’s novel after the other and writing short stories about daring pirate adventures. After acquiring some experience in various marketing, business development, and hiring roles at internet startups in a few different countries, he decided to reunite his professional life with his childhood passions by joining Grammarly’s marketing team in San Francisco. He has the pleasure of being tasked with talking to writers, bloggers, teachers, and others about how they use Grammarly’s online proofreading application to improve their writing. His free time is spent biking, traveling, and reading.
