Formative Assessment Solutions from Pearson

WriteToLearn

WriteToLearn™ is a complete online tool for building writing skills and developing reading comprehension. With WriteToLearn, students practice essay writing and summarization skills, and their efforts are measured by the state-of-the-art Knowledge Analysis Technologies™ (KAT) engine.

The KAT engine is a unique automated assessment technology that evaluates the meaning of text, not just grammatical correctness or spelling. Students receive immediate, specific feedback on their work, and teachers easily assess student efforts individually or as a class.

Summary Scoreboard

Using WriteToLearn, students develop a skill that good readers naturally possess - the ability to summarize what they read. They practice essay writing and summarizing and build both writing and reading comprehension skills across the curriculum.

WriteToLearn offers students:

  • Immediate, easy-to-understand feedback and suggestions on how to improve essays and summaries.
  • Visually appealing reporting for staying on track with assignments and monitoring their own progress.

WriteToLearn allows teachers to:

  • Adjust scoring to meet the learning goals of a class.
  • View classes, performance and progress on a single screen and drill down to individual student results or see entire student portfolios.

Immediate Evaluation and Feedback

The Knowledge Analysis Technologies (KAT) engine is the core technology behind WriteToLearn. The KAT engine:

  • Measures and makes judgments about written language and its content by evaluating the meaning of text through examining whole passages.
  • Automatically evaluates writing as accurately as skilled human graders, agreeing with them more often than they agree with each other.

WriteToLearn offers students an engaging and motivational environment for practicing and refining their reading and summarizing skills. Both an instructional and assessment tool, WriteToLearn is the only writing development product that gives students the immediate, targeted feedback necessary to develop the reading comprehension and writing skills that are critical for academic success.
