Tracking Grammar, Conventions and Writing Skills With Quill

Help me give my students a premium subscription to Quill, an interactive grammar and writing practice and development website.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Harkins's classroom raised $206

My Project

A subscription to Quill.org would be a great addition to my classroom toolbox. It is a tool that is designed to help K-12 students develop their writing skills by providing activities and feedback as they progress through a variety of activities. In its current state, the tool is designed to help students begin constructing complex sentences, but in the future the team has plans on expanding that to include thesis and essay writing. These are all skills so necessary for my students to learn and this program would be so very helpful in achieving all of my student learning goals.
