Today's ever-evolving standards emphasize that students should be doing more analytical writing in preparation for what they’ll encounter in the real world. For many students, this means mastering the traditional structure and mechanics of writing, while learning a new set of skills that are abstract and can be difficult to grasp without practice.
To be successful in this writing practice, students need a continuous stream of structured feedback, helping them build on what they already know and encouraging them to write with focus. Whether teachers are using writer’s workshop or a more structured curriculum, managing a thoughtful writing program should be flexible to a teacher's instruction, yet motivating for the student .
We are a group of educators and technologists that want to help produce stronger writers by connecting students and teachers throughout the writing process – from pre-writing to revision. At Writable, our vision is to help teachers inspire a new generation of writers – writers with purpose. We hope you'll join us.
