Highly recommended by Humberto Garza, LUCHA Teacher at Hanna ECHS.
"NoRedInk is a website designed to help students learn and practice essential elements of English grammar and understand important elements of good writing (such as use of evidence). Teachers can create classes, add students, and assign specific skills for student mastery. There's material for just about every possible writing convention students might need help with, ranging from subject-verb agreement and parallelism to compound sentence structure and citation formats. Beyond grammar practice, NoRedInk also allows teachers to create and assign writing prompts, usefully expanding assessment potential beyond grammar drills. Within the teacher dashboard, it's easy to see students' work completion and progress toward mastery of individual skills. The diagnostics, practice, and quiz elements give detailed information about each student. The Premium version also adds some of the site's best features, including a complete curriculum for grammar and writing as well as tools to help students revise and improve their writing.Â
For students, NoRedInk allows for some degree of personalization. Students can select their interests (sports, TV shows, books, etc.) and then see sentences reflecting these interests. When beginning a new topic, NoRedInk gives straightforward instruction and learning tips and then provides clear, easy-to-understand support as students build understanding. Students can easily monitor their own progress and recognize areas for growth." (Common Sense Education)
