The writing check

Paste an essay, report, story or college personal statement. See what is working and what to revise first, for your student's grade, then rate five traits together.

0 words

Read it yourself, too

This check counts patterns in the writing: length, sentences, paragraphs, transitions, evidence and repeated words. It cannot judge ideas. After the check, rate the five traits below with your student; that conversation matters more than any number.

A practice check, not a grade. Teachers and colleges each judge writing in their own way.
