Writing Basics
The ground floor of the essay: one sentence at a time, then a paragraph, then the habits that make the rest possible. Start with the challenge that is live today; the rest of the shelf is on its way.
Can You Write a Sentence??
The 25-minute challenge: students prove every sentence is a sentence, then build a paragraph. Assign it from the wizard, or run it with zero setup.
Spelling support
The words Texas essays misspell most, practised inside real sentences, so the conventions score stops leaking points.
Typing practice
Short daily drills on the passages students already know, because the online test is typed and slow typists run out of time before they run out of ideas.
Sentence combining
Two short sentences go in and one better sentence comes out, which is the fastest route from choppy to fluent.
Paragraph basics
Topic sentence, support, and closer: the one paragraph students must own before an essay makes any sense to them.
