Quill.org is an online interactive writing and grammar website which offers personalized grammar lessons for 1-12 students, as well as EAL students. Quill.org is a free resource with a premium option. The benefits of this website are that you can offer your students personalized lessons based on their diagnostic results and it scores the assignments for you so you can use that as formative feedback to assign new activity packs. Teachers are able to see their entire class at a glance for each assignment and adding and removing students is very easy. It offers co teaching options and Quill.org also has fully prepared lesson plans which you can use for a whole class grammar lesson.

*Teachers can download explicit lesson plans to teach their entire class or small groups as well.

Quill now has a proofreader that teaches editing skills by having them proofread passages!
