When COVID-19 transitioned my school into digital learning, I was looking for another website, similar to Quill, that would support my students in their independent grammar development. NoRedInk offers that. It allows the teacher to assign diagnostics and practice that leads to quizzes. It has multiple features that allow the teacher to incorporate a writing assessment in addition to grammar assessment. I also like that it is more interactive when it comes to grammar assessment. The interface allows the students to change what they feel needs to be changed--punctuation, capitalization, etc.--thus better revealing what the students would naturally do as writers instead of forcing an answer on them. I also like that the sentences in the activities are tailored to an extent to the students' interests--for instance, involving sentences about Harry Potter.

It is actually helpful in getting students to understand the mechanics of grammar without being boring!

I love that I can assign a diagnostic, then practice, and finally a quiz. Students can go at their own pace!
