Supporting daily writing practice in schools across Australia


Too Much Student Writing Goes to Waste
Students write essays, creative pieces, and text responses every day, but most never get feedback. That writing ends up in the bin or forgotten in lockers—along with missed learning opportunities.
Student Writing Gets Wasted
- Student writing thrown away because teachers can't give feedback on everything
- Missed learning opportunities when practice doesn't get reviewed
- Disconnected practice writing becomes meaningless without feedback
Teachers Face an Impossible Choice
- Give feedback on everything and work unsustainable hours
- Give feedback on some pieces and let student effort go to waste
- Both options lead to teacher burnout or student disappointment
Why Daily Writing Practice Works
Research shows that frequent practice with immediate feedback dramatically improves writing outcomes
