Traditional writing assessment is failing students
Students need regular feedback to develop their writing skills, but the current system prioritises infrequent, high-stakes summative assessment over the formative feedback that actually drives improvement.
Summative Assessment
- Infrequent and high-stakesTypically 2-3 major assessments per term
- Overwhelming teacher workload120+ hours annually spent on assessment
- Delayed feedback cycleStudents receive feedback weeks after submission
- No developmental trackingWriting skills remain unmeasured over time
Result: Student writing development stalls without timely support
Formative Assessment
- Frequent, low-stakes feedbackRegular touchpoints throughout the next term
- Reduced teacher workloadAI assistance handles routine assessment tasks
- Immediate, actionable feedbackStudents receive guidance when they need it
- Comprehensive skill tracking1,000+ writing skills measured and monitored
Result: Students make consistent progress with ongoing support

The old castle stood on the hill.The ancient stones were covered in moss and the air smelled of rain.The windows were broken.The girl walked up the path. She opened the door. It creaked loudly.Inside, the hallway was dark and cold.
